should i worry about the conficker computer worm?

[Dude!]

apparently on april 1st
something is supposed to happen

i am not enough of a geek
to know if i should be concerned

or if it is much ado about nothing

any special precautions we should take???

[oh_kee_pa]

i would refuse to turn on anything that is close to the computer, or can somehow network in...

TV and phone included...
in fact, kill all power going to your house for a day

You can find out if you have the worm by trying to go to a place like www.synamtec.com. Supposedly the worm blocks access to sites of antivirus software.

[ToiletCrusher]

Well played. I owe you one glass of cabernet sauvignon.


Either way, JerseyRich is still confused by the idea of covering up.

the good news is my name is so Jewwy, no Mexican can get away with using my SS # after my identity is stolen

[drjoek]

Those pricks at Norton released this shit to try to scare us into antivirus protection

Just stay away from MafiaLife.com or Spread the Iris and you should remain virus free

Mac boys are not safe either, the OS on most of your internet server farms, etc. is MS based.

It is simple; keep your antimalware shit up to date and if you are scared set the heuristics detection to high.
