they ran a warning on abc world news...

Conficker virus, launch date april 1st, estimated to effect 12million computers maybe more..
 
NEVER answer emails that you don't know the sender! Hope Bill Gates is already working on a cure.
 
I'm still waiting on the money Gates was supposed to send me for "TESTING" his new E-Mail system.:rofl::D
 
this was on 60 Minutes Sunday night. Most of these worms and viruses come from Russian hackers. They are treated as heros over there for wrecking havic with the rich Americans and their economy. No prosecution or punishment whatsoever. Do a search for russian hackers and you will see alot.

The email thing was a hoax but the conflicker thing is not. Microsoft is offering a $250000 bounty for any one that can either stop it or find the author.

Microsoft is prolly the jokers that put it on the net...
 
I heard somewhere this morning that a group from Germany broke the virus code and identified the 50,000 receiving points for the the virus to send back to.
 
Open up your control panel, click add/remove programs. Check the "Show updates" box at the top.

Look for "Security Update for Windows XP (KB958644) it was released in 22 Oct 2008. If you have that installed you are all set. If you do not have this, run windows update and grab all your patches.

I have spent the last few days ensuring my work network had all the required patches, big PITA but better safe then sorry.
