Yes you will get that, and for this reason quite a number of boards, mine included, completely ban this type of signature. It frightens members and you spend half your time trying to allay fears by explaining how it works. Even then people tend not to believe you and you will get a number of people who think "better safe than sorry" and stop visiting your site.

It does depend on the type of visitors you get, but after seeing the chaos that can be caused on boards where people just don't understand the technology involved, I have banned them.
