i was watching the news earlier an saw something about this. appearantly its a worm of sorts that lays in slumber until midnight tonight then it starts running your cpu for banking info ect. i guess it came through some sort of microsoft update. thats what i gathered from fox news earlier
The Microsoft update is supposed to prevent you getting the worm.Originally Posted by BlueHatch

I heard it corrupted IA's database.
oh shit, so thats what happened to the USER CP
fox5 said if you can go to the microsoft update page and download the newest update you should be fine, if you cannot access certain security websites, or if you have certain issues with jump drives you may have a problem. theres a wiki all about it if you're worried.
Yep, the conficker worm actually blocks windows updates from what I understand.
can anyone link me? I searched Microsoft update but It took me to a blank page. Trying it on IE right now.

Fuck it
The only realistic reason MACs are more secure is because far fewer hackers worry about MACs. There are FAR more people using windows so there is more profit/destruction/whatever that can be done through windows.
12:02...I haz no conficker worm.
I'm still alive
from PCWorld.com:
"Conficker and other worms are typically of most concern to businesses that don't regularly update the desktops and servers in their networks. Once one computer in a network is infected, it often has ready access to other vulnerable computers in that network and can spread rapidly.
Home computers, on the other hand, are usually protected by a firewall and are less at risk. However, a home network can suffer as well. For example, a laptop might pick up the worm from a company network and launch attacks at home."
