Questions on Security

[Scott Berry]

No it does not.  The main reason in my mind being is that because you have a 
username and password it is harder to get any typ[es of infections through 
and if you really do it correctly you may even put different things in to 
groups so only certain groups can access certain things and this normally 
keeps everything at bay.
