Possibly, possibly. However, I finally got around to using my firewall, and it detected two intrusions within... yes, 20 minutes. But I don't know how serious those were. I'm only vaguely computer literate, after all.

Again, possibly, possibly. But better safe than sorry, no?

Not hype. In the time it takes to download the security patches for an unprotected Windows box, the box will be attempted.

Run Linux or Mac. Much harder to hack.
