Conficker On the Horizon


worm

April 1 will not be laughing day for some. Infected with the Conficker worm, this deadly computer code will bring its victims much grief as it will turn infected users’ computers into zombie drones to do the dirty deeds of its currently unknown creator. Is is currently believed that 5-10 million computers are currently infected. Make sure your antivirus is active and up to date. Also make sure that you have all the latest Window’s updates. Perhaps tomorrow will be a day which would best be spent with the computer off or setting the clocks ahead a day and disabling internet time synchronization – of course, if you did this you may not be able to access certain websites due to the date being off. Hopefully the evil creator of this beast will be caught…there’s currently a $250,000 bounty. For more information check out CNN. Safe computing tomorrow and goodnight!
