I’m surprised Acer are saying it may be malware as the Atom would have some pretty conservative power saving options. You should be able to do a custom power
Check and see what your power saving options are.
I have an Acer Aspire One win7 netbook, with a dual core Atom processor and I have that set to go into standby at the drop of a hat to conserve battery power.
