I do check my software with secunia on a regular basis.

And I don't understand what is meant by checking your
security software - I do a shields up check on a regular
basis, run Nod32 and SuperAntiSpyware along with Spybot on a
periodic basis.

I seem to have gotten attacked because I asked a question -
and the attack assumes I don't take responsibility for my
own security - there is no basis that I know of for this
assumption.
