[edit] Install the hotfix patch via Extension Manager.

The URL for the hot patch is: http://joomlacode.org/gf/download/frsrelease/17575/76677/joomla_3-0-0_hotpatch.zip. Copy and paste this into the Install URL text box.

Note #1: If you are not getting the "Note: Hot patch for 3.0.1 update is installed" message, then please repeat Step 2 or ask for some help from a trusted developer.

Note #2: If you're not getting the "Joomla! update was found", click on Purge Cache button.

If you see both of the above, Install the Update.
