Default A question regarding the safety of server hosting...

Can one of the EQEmu Forefathers please answer my question: From the information we post onto the EQEmu channel through server hosting, does this type of uploading allow other users to access your PERSONAL computer information, such as programs and web files? I beleive from what I can tell it has no connection but I have to be sure: AM I SAFE from hacking, viruses, affliated scum, ect when I host an Everquest Emulator Server in MS DOS Command Promt via World.exe and Boot5zones.exe?

Basically someone is having insecurity in my using their computer and they have this question to ask:
If this computer is hosting an EMu Server, can ANYONE or ANYTHING access their computer or change anything AT ALL?
