Yes of course, but I am unaware of any drive-by exploits on any 'nix
computer, let alone one's with reasonable firewalls.  :)  I do not sit
about with my finger where the sun does not shine, but there is easily a
point reached where enough is enough (re. personal security).

My systems are, from my perspective, rarely insecure.  Are you a PC/Windows

PS.  Another point; I currently live in the dreaded place of the outskirts
of Santiago, Chile.  I would find it very interesting and novel if ever I
was 'attacked'.  I should be moving back, to where I often have prolonged
stays, to the USA, very soon now.
