Not sure if I agree with question 3 about shutting down your computer when its not in use, from what I've read, that could wear out parts, wouldn't disconnecting your computer be just as effective? Other than that, great job once again.

Point taken.

The primary goal is to remove the method of access for any hackers so they don't have unlimited time to work on breaking your defenses.

However, depending on whether its a work or home computer and whether it contains personal or confidential information I can think of other reasons why it might be better to physically shut the machine down rather than just disabling or shutting down the network / Internet connection.
