Reverse-Engineer RunRev Standalone?

Not looking to do anything per se, just opened the .exe with 'vi' and 
'more'...just wondering how well protected my code would  be from prying 
eyes.

Would this be an issue to be concerned about?  Is it possible (or usual) 
to try prevent or minimise reverse-engineering of standalones?
