Dumpers, don't believe everything you read.I work as a network engineer and allowing anyone into your computer can be dangerous.You really aught to know who you download from and when you do download,virus scan the file before doing anything with it.If a virus is picked up then delete it.
As far as people getting in,it is usually into a machine that doesn't have the latest operating system patches installed or have put whats known as a backdoor(trojan) into your system.If you do virus scans regularly then you shouldn't worry to much about this.Nortons picks these up and will quarantine them for you.If you use XP home edition make sure you turn off remote desktop services as I know how to backdoor systems that leave this feature on and I'm not considered a hacker like some.
Just be careful and always scan anything you download from the internet before opening and 99% of problems will not happen.The other 1% is usually a new progamming hole that was just discovered and no one knows about yet except hackers.
Go ahead and download and enjoy the game.
