Hello Terry,

You shouldn't be worried really. So far...

Just make sure you use your Linux system as a regular user (not as "root" 
which is the power user) and that you don't have any open network-ports on 
your system. You can perform a search on google on how to secure your linux 
machine (stopping all unnecessary services and use a firewall).

HTH,
Jorge
