1. I've never heard getting bugs from port forwarding..
2. I've heard port forwarding can increase your download speed. (It might increase internet, not sure.)
3. I've never had this happen or seen anyone have it happen.
4. I doubt it.

Port forwarding only directs traffic to your open Blockland program.
Whoever told you that it can give you spyware, viruses, .etc, is paranoid.
