Thank you. Asked and answered. As all I have are one desktop and one laptop,
with nothing but private data on them, I don't need to take as many precautions
as a professional does
this assumption is the root of all evil
i have seen mails from ISP's to people because they sent
a couple million of spam mails in background without
realize this
i saw mails from the police to the same people some weaks
later proving that they made illegal activities because
their machine was remote controlled and misused
98% of all attacks and spam out there are from machines where
the owner said "oh i do not need more security and do not care"
90 % of this are home-machines beeing part of a botnet and the
rest vservers of users missing any admin skill but think to
need a root-server
