*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

When clicking on 'help' in the gnome-do preferences, the link opened is
"do.davebsd.com/wiki/index.php?title=Using_Do", it redirects several
times, opening various spammy sites (gambling, shopping, etc).

The real problem isn't gnome-do per se, but rather that do.davebsd.com
seems to have been co-opted.

** Affects: do
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Information type changed from Private Security to Public Security
