you'll probably be fine unless you're running windows server 2003... "hackers" really don't care about private systems anymore... and most people have routers that would generally swat away such an attempt. Update, but there is no reason to go running home to save your computer...

Yeah, its not a HUGE deal for the average joe shmoe.... It's more geared towards businesses and large networks from what I could see. But it's still just a fail safe to update your own computer when you can. I wouldn't want to be that unlucky random kid who's computer gets taken over.
