My virus protection gives me an alert if a site may be infected with the heartbleed bug. As long as I don't have any financial info on them or use the same password for personal sites, no problem.

Nothing. I was told to wait until I was notified by someone I do business with that they had been hit and then change my password for them. I do no banking or bill paying on line or use my credit cards on line. We just do not trust putting our info. on line.

In these days and times of sophisticated digital theft, nothing is absolutely positively 100% secure. We mustn't kid ourselves. Pay Pal tells us they are secure, but all of our info was stolen from them two years ago and someone had a wonderful time shopping all over Europe and Asia to the tune of several thousand dollars on my credit info. Thank goodness, our bank notified us immediately and we cancelled the card, but the threat is ALWAYS there. When theft knowledge and devices are invented faster than virus protection can be written, we must never fool ourselves into thinking we are safe. We are not and never will be. This will be an ongoing problem with more and more credit card/debit card use and technology. It's just going to become more and more sophisticated.

I don't do Facebook or Twitter. Never do any banking or bill paying online. Guess I just don't trust much anymore.

Just to be on the safe side I changed my yahoo, google and fb passwords. I think it is going to get to the place where it won't make any difference if we change our passwords, someone is going to figure out how to hack all accounts

The virus alert comes with Chrome Browser it is called Chromebleed1.1.1Displays a warning if the site you are browsing is affected by the Heartbleed bug
