In a little less short - be smart about it, and you should be fine. Should being the operating word here, but unless you're holding on to and communicating EXTREMELY sensitive information (state secrets and the like) which will make a target of your data, and if you practice safe (read: lockdown) usage, and if you don't keep an active connection running for hours on end, you should be fine.

Be sure your firewall is updated and set correctly, of course. And Windows' built-in firewall doesn't cut it, at least get something along the lines of Comodo (free, and we all know how much we like free here!)
