Bittorrent and Security

[jpr13]

I opened ports on my router to forward qbittorrent to my computer. When I scanned with shields up, out of the 9 ports I forwarded, 8 were still stealthed while the ninth was open. I closed the open port on the router and left the forwarding up on the ones that came up stealth.

Am I safe???

This might seem obvious ... but re-scan with Shields Up.

That being said ... don't assume that just because you're safe at the moment you never have to think about it again. Generally, you don't ... but installing anything else could change that.
