"New" threat - Heartbleed

Hi all,

 

I've seen this article:

 

http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/features/heartbleed-bug-has-revealed-major-flaw-in-online-security--so-much-of-the-web-is-based-on-free-software-that-anyone-can-access-9252548.html

 

and checked this site for references to "heartbleed bug"  with no success.  Any information, anybody?

 

Also, I've started getting an annoying bug that duplicates what seem like random words and turns them into links, like the illustration here.  Any idea how I can have picked it up and how I can kill it off?  I run the same software on this laptop as on my PC and that machine doesn't have the problem.  I'm also getting pop up ads on this site, even running Adblock Plus.

 

Thanks,

 

Ian
