So by now we have all heard of the so called "Heartbleed bug" and I know on Gog at least its been fixed. But I have a very serious question. Can and did the heartbleed bug somehow latch onto the game download servers and infect the downloads so that you are essentially downloading the Heartbleed bug? I just need to know if I should do something like uninstall my games and reinstall them or not.

I am guessing you have never used a virus scanner.

Let me introduce you to www.superantispyware.com/

It's used by the people down at majorgeeks.com/ support forum

You would also want to get malwarebytes

The Heartbleed bug is a vulnerability in the OpenSSL code, it can't infect anything so you have nothing to worry about regarding your games. So this is not some piece of malware.

The proper measures you should take is to change your password on websites that have had it fixed.

While the advice about ensuring you have reasonable virus scanning is sound, I would add that Heartbleed is a bug on websites allowing people to snoop other people's information; it's not something that can in any way be 'infected' into other software.

Er...I do use Kaspersky. I use it quite a lot actually. I just wanted to be 100% sure. Thanks! Thanks to you as well. Oh! and I almost forgot to say thanks to you as well...So thank you.

I don't think "heartbleed bug" works the way you think it does.

Sorry. I just wanted to be sure...And thank you.

Malwarebytes and Superantispyware have a function that allows you to quickly scan single files, I don't know if Kaspersky does.

Yup, it does. Its quite useful.

Here's a quick explanation:

This is not something that is ever resident on your computer ..Its a vulnerbility in the SSL software on their servers that allows a hacker to obtain data that was resident in the Servers memory...which includes a lot of useless data..but also includes all the logins, passwords, and financial data that is resident in memory. Possibly the biggest security flaw imanginable It essentially makes the software that protects your privacy useless..But this flaw was discovered by a Internet Security company. There is no evidence anybody ever actually was using the vulnerability. Change your password for sure though. The extensive use of the bug in stealing personnel information would certainly leave a trail..even if the bug itself was unknown at the time.
