I tend to think it is not as bad as first reported but then who am I that keep personal details of note off the PC.

Intresting article by the chap that writes the Dummies PC books:

Message from our developer:

The word from our technical team is that as we don't use Open SSL anywhere (which Heartbleed targets), we shouldn't be affected. That said, the usual advice about password security apply. Best wishes, Dan
