I don't have any NVIDIA cards personally - right now I only have two desktops 
running, and they're both on-board ATI video.  I have never had much reason 
to install one of the blob drivers -- only thought about it once because 
Celestia was bogging down.  But at that time I didn't have either an NVIDIA 
or ATI card, and decided it wasn't worth the expense to buy one just to 
render Celestia.  :)

I couldn't find any reference to the 1.0-9625 drivers being fixed on a 
security site, but The Register says that they've reportedly not vulnerable.

Anyhow you can get 9625 at nZone:
