True, but regardless, it really wouldn't matter what version of vB I'm running, the security issues are never THAT great with VB, which is the reason they sell it for 160dollars.
I recoment updates for people who have the time, and know-how, and for those users who can't afford to EVER be hacked into.

Remember, Nothing on the internet is hack-proof, you just have to be careful and take precaution

You're wrong, any security hole is a big one. It doesn't matter. If they can penetrate your vB it's one hole. These bugs are somewhat made public and if people know that there are bugs in older versions of vB then there's always that little risk.

Small, but significant.
