You will likely get hacked, don't do it.

In general not so much. But every port you open could be exploited, and you take somewhat of a security risk.
Just make sure that the program you use on the port stays updated, and that you have a decent updated anti-virus program. You and your family should be fine.

It's higly unlikely, though it's never 0%. There are better targets on the net to hack / crack for those who do that kind of thing.
Send me a pm or an e-mail, don't spam Exilepilot
What makes you think that ?
Also locked the thread because it's solved.

You are at more risk from browsing dodgy websites.

No, it isn`t dangerous to portforward.
