Question Question for Harley

Should I be doing anything about this security problem Harley? I've read all the information but I'm not experienced enough to know if I should be doing anything more than I already am!

Well short of changing your DNS server to something like OpenDns :

there isn't much,you can do,but hope that if and when this gets serious enough to warrant more attention.........the proper patches are released.
