Re: Hacking.....seriously, how easy is it to get hacked?
It's also a good idea to make sure all installed software is up-to-date. Secunia's PSI (Personal Software Inspector) does that nicely. If there's an insecure version of a program, it'll let you know - so you can either update it, or uninstall it if it's not needed. A fair number of "drive by downloads" are aimed at third-party items like Acrobat Reader, Flash, QuickTime, etc.
