	Probably not a bad idea to change your passwords regularly in any event

	Conflicting advice. one says change passwords now, the other says, there are patches available for those web users so wait until they have been activated. decisions decisions.

	Mine are generally as they suggest, or su33est :-D But I don't do online banking, have a credit card with very little on for online orders, and, quite frankly, if anyone 'eavesdropped' on my computer, they'd be bored stiff :-D :-D

	and, quite frankly, if anyone 'eavesdropped' on my computer, they'd be bored stiff --------------------------------------- Really mine too. Me and my computer are very boring things. I tried to have a limited credit card but the bank put it back up and won't let me put it back down, without a fight. :-( :-(

	Before you go into panic mode and start changing all your passwords, you may want to read what Snopes has to say about this Bug...ger http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/heartbleed.asp

	Reminds me some what of the panic and mayhem that the so called Millenium Bug caused. Everyone was predicting all computers crashing all over the planet. Doesn't the media just love to spread a little paranoia amongst the populace. :-D :-D :-D

	The list on the BBC site shows that most inportant web sites are not vulnerable and those that are are now patched.
