Not only to mention you're opening a port where potentially any data can be sent down through it and executed on your computer.

I don't use it Mandy, but common sense tells me that as with any file sharing programme, you are more at risk of viruses and/or spyware than you would be if you downloaded something off an official website. Torrent clients themselves don't have viruses and/or spyware, and nor do any other file sharing programmes; it's the files you download that may contain them. Hope that helps.
