Hi everyone,

I've been trying to follow this thread, with gratitude for the knowledgeable work being done by you all. Thanks.

What I have done is to Install Updates at least once a day, and keep my LL system as up-to-date as possible. Here is a copy of (some of) my system info

-Version-
Kernel : Linux 4.4.0-111-generic (x86_64)
Compiled : #134-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jan 15 14:53:09 UTC 2018
C Library : Unknown
Default C Compiler : GNU C Compiler version 5.4.0 20160609 (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.5)
Distribution : Linux Lite 3.6

I am hoping (aren't we all!) that LL will be patched enough to continue safe browsing - subject of course to staying off sites of unknown security as usual.

I run a Win 7 laptop also, very similar i5 specs, for work, cad programmes. I don't go online much with that Win 7 laptop, (and haven't at all in the past week I think) using my LL for almost all my browsing, email etc. So my plan is to stay off-line completely on the Windows 7 laptop until it's known to be "safe" out there! Or should I chance "Windows updates"?

I do have a netbook with an Atom processor - did someone say the Atom is not affected?

SN. I hope my reply has been useful - click Thank on the left.
