4:00 p.m. PDT: The Conficker worm is stirring on some infected computers in Asia where it's April 1, but so far the activity is very tame, security researchers say.

Bring it [bleep]! *puts on Panda, Norton, Avast, Bit defender, and McAfee*

actually, multiple firewalls are less effective than one because they can block each other.

I don't run any antivirus software, and I turn my firewall protection off.

 

And yet for some reason, my scans with Symantec's conficker cleaner came up clean.

 

 

 

Antivirus is overrated.

it can hide itself.

 

 

 

and I say it was the chinese and the russians working together to make this,

don't forget the North Koreans and Nazi-Germans!

So they are reports that Asia is getting infected?

they have computers with the virus in it, in Asia. but the computers are showing minimal activity so far.

McAfee already offers protection from the Conficker worm in its endpoint and network products, and Microsoft has issued a security patch for the vulnerability that the Conficker family has used to propagate. Yet many computer users continue to worry about infection. The information below will help you understand more about the worm, the steps you can take to clean an infected system, and measures to prevent reinfection.

If anyone uses McAfee like me...

 

 

 

It's been updating so I feel good!

So is this crap getting anyone's concern?

So is this crap getting anyone's concern?

 

not mine.

I heard on the news that this worm will be affecting around 10 million computers.

I'll be really surprised if this isn't an april fools joke.

What an awesome 1337th post.

 

 

 

I don't really care about this worm. It's probably a joke.

If it ain't a joke, wouldn't alot of bad stuff happen?

If it ain't a joke, wouldn't alot of bad stuff happen?

 

That's the general idea of it.

 

 

 

 

 

To be safe, I ran a full virus scan, updated my OS, and found nothing. I have good virus/malware protection, so I should be ok.

If it ain't a joke, wouldn't alot of bad stuff happen?

 

 

 

All the infected computers are probably going to become part of a botnet. Could be used for anything, bad or good.

Lol there are already wild rumors spreading around the RSOF of the conficker virus infecting runescape and destroying all accounts. Some players are even afraid to log on tomorrow. :roll:

 

 

 

Its 911... but with computers.

they probably didn't even know ):

April 1st has started at New York.

 

April 1st has now touched the USA.

 

3 more hours until the continental USA is in April 1st.

 

Damn it! who is changing the word a p r i l into mudkipz?

If it happens it happens. I'm not shutting off my computer, I need a new one anyways. I've tried the things that will supposedly scan my computer for it, but none will load. I guess that means I have it. :lol:

Sooo... any word on what the command is exactly? Has it screwed Britain over yet?

 

 

 

It's 45 minutes to midnight here... I'll unplug my internet cable before then.

It's not a major problem to us, if you can access www.microsoft.com, you're safe. If you're running any form of linux, you're basically 100% safe from the worm :D
