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 users? ;) David 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.
