[NTLUG:Discuss] A Vulnerability question

[Dennis Myhand]

Okay, I realize this may be a very simplistic sounding question, BUT...

Whenever there is a vulnerability announced, such as for BIND, or
another such program (Like everything on my wife's Winderz machine), am
I vulnerable if I,

1.)  Am not running that program, like not even configured but on my
system?,

2.)  Am running a firewall and not running that program, same situation
as 1?,

3.) Or am simply running a firewall with that program running?
