I don't worry too much but will check tonight anyway just to be sure. Most computer security concerns are dealt with by simply not being dumb and lowering your level of exposure. If someone really wants "in" to your computer, they'll get in no matter what. Just why draw attention to yourself or give an opportunist an easy target? It's like locking my car, putting the club on it and parking it next to an unlocked Honda. Thieves/neer-do-wells will go for the easier target 99.999% of the time.

YOU are not the problem. People like our parents are the problem...
