If you are on the Internet and you are not using a firewall, you are either a fool or a sociopath... maybe both. ;-) For what it is worth, none of my scanners or my firewall has reported anything out of the ordinary and I visit Renderosity and 3D Commune at least 3 or 4 times a day (You are correct, I have no life). But warnings such as this are good. It keeps us on our toes.
