Posts: 567 03/31/09 07:28 AM	Tags : omg TAKEN FROM ANOTHER GROUP I am sure most of you have already read or seen something about this worm going around the internet! But in case you haven't I wanted to post some links so you can read about it. This thing is awful from what I am reading! I watched a segment last night on 60 minutes about this. So here's some links that have good information. Please be careful everyone and try to get updates on your security programs. http://tech.yahoo.com/blogs/null/128643/beware-conficker-worm-come-april-1/ http://tech.yahoo.com/news/ap/20090327/ap_on_hi_te/tec_conficker_countdown_1 http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=4901282n <<<<Very nice video http://www.syschat.com/conflictor-c-worm-warning-4424.html

Microsoft is supposed to have a patch for this, but I haven't noticed any updates, so might go to their website to check it out. My anti-virus has been updating twice a day for the last few days, so I'm hoping it'll take care of things! From what I understand, the experts have determined that it might do something tomorrow. Let's keep our fingers crossed! Marsha Chance favors the prepared mind.

I've had so many problems with my computer lately - and the anti virus programs haven't been that effective - so I actually bought the one from one of the sites you posted. It caught a lot of things (and got rid of some things that had been really BUGGING me - like pop ups) that my other programs hadn't caught. I DO plan to turn my computer off tonight - after running a scan just before. Hopefully the program I purchased will keep it clean now. I'm just so tired of computer problems! Your Signature ...

But, from what I've been reading, if you can get into any of the Microsoft websites or into any anti-virus website, then you're NOT infected. From what I've been reading (and hearing) this thing is mainly targeting the corporate computers, so those of us in the private sector shouldn't have too much of a problem. Just be safe when you're surfing the web! Don't go to anyplace you're not sure of, and NEVER click on a link that you know nothing about. Hugs, Marsha Chance favors the prepared mind.

Posts: 600 04/02/09 02:19 PM	Thanks for all of the links and other information. My regular computer is in the shop, so I guess it has a low risk right now. It has a pretty good secruity program. I have been using Becca's for my email and groups, and I had been a slacker on updating it since she only uses it for school. But today I got busy and updated everything. I am running a scan right now. I really do not know why some people think it is fun to make up these worms and viruses. It does not seem like a fun activity to me. Blessings, Mimi All Is Well
