Go with it and see where it leads. The only thing I'd question is your ex's motives for passing the news. Was she really doing you a favor, or just dredging up some old news out of jealosy and spite?
The only thing I'd say to you is to do what everybody should do in relationships, but doesn't. Be true to yourself. Don't let yourself get sucked into situations you're uncomfortable with "for the good of the relationship," and don't ignore anything she does that you think is wrong or harmful, even if it doesn't affect you. (Nor should she, in your case.) Keep lines of communication open and don't be afraid to discuss anything that bothers either of you -- tactfully and sensitively, but firmly. If the two of you can't do that -- if there are too many taboo subjects -- then the relationship isn't healthy.
But do give her the same full chance you'd give anyone. Believe me, there are about as many people out there with as "past" as those without. You just know about this girl's.
