Unfortunately yes depending on what you run for an operating system, fire wall and virus programs the hackers may be able to key log your account so as soon as it shows inactivity they can go in and start playing around.

Your biggest defence which unfortunately a lot of people don't do is to not keep any personal information on your computer (addresses, contact info, bank accounts, names of family members and friends, even something as innocent as photos can yield information)

Next best option are good quality firewall and antivirus programs of which Macafee and Norton are not included as both are not secure or safe anti virus programs to run. Eset, Panda, Webroot and Bitdefender are all good programs to run
