Tom W., CNNfn said "Intel probably will find a fix for the latest flaw within a week. The company will work with software companies and PC make to distribute the fix."

Don't trust any software fix. Anything based on scanning code for the offending instruction is doomed to failure. Any hacker can write a program to generate the instruction 1 microsecond before executing it, making detection impossible.
