I was fairly sure I wasn't being targeted in that malware. But I ran the test anyway and all came back ok.
I don't care?

To the 2 % who "don't care" , if you don't care then why are you even bothering to participate in the poll, the mind boggles!

My laptop runs Linux, and I just love the fact that there is virtually no malware for it. I ran the test on it and all came back ok. My desktop however runs Windows 7 and it has Norton and I am a very cautious internet user. All came back ok on that as well 
So for me, there's nothing to worry about.
No

I did when to the site before this poll was up.
I keep my PC up to date with the Microsoft patches (Also my security software).
I do use a firewall that I 'stealth' the ports (Comodo IS), host file, Spywareblaster (Place sites in the restricted zone of my Internet options.). I use noscript, WOT, and adblock pus with firefox. I do all of my web-surfing in Sandboxie.
I also do run regular scans with Malwarebytes, Superantispyware, and hitmanpro.
I am fairly sure that I will not get infected by this. But in the end I am my own PC worst security threat.
