That's right. There are people out there who look for exploits (more specificially my type of website unfortunately) in programs such as flashchat, see if you have IMPEX install files on your site, pretty much anything they can use against you - and if there's a vulnerability they will take advantage of that. If you are up to date, have removed your install files, etc., there are no worries. In my case, I had two outdated versions of flashchat (one with the more recent AEDating CMS security hole and the other I honestly don't remember - that was when I switched to vbulletin Aug/Sep 2005).
