Worried about the Conficker worm striking on April 1st?

not really, but it looks like Norton is worried you won't buy any of their garbage!

No kidding. That's why McAfee has a tool available for free. you can d/l it from the following link.

Is the virus an April Fools joke or is it real?
Almost Y2Kish.

And holy crap do my higher ups have their panties in a knot. I've got requests for the past two days for proof of execution of patches that I was asked for proof of execution back in November which I confirmed in October.

T -12 hours is a little late fellas. "Well, did you also patch the exchange servers?" No, I am an ignorant moron and figured I'd just skip those to see what happened.

"What about the VMotion clusters?" Linux. Immune. Don't make me come up there.

It appears to have "April 1" as an important date in it's code, but no one knows what it will do.

25% on 'Nothing'. 25% on 'Joke'. 50% on 'new spam botnet'.

It's times like this I love being a MAC user. If this is real or just a hoax. It doesn't matter in the slightest to me.

Word is that if your using a reputable anti-Virus that has been updated in like the last month or so you should be ok. If anyone is worried just get the Norton or McAfee tool to keep yourself protected.
Personally I think it's a big Hoax to the world, 15 year old hackers and computer whizes have a great sence of humor

Well if they have a copy of this virus, surely them must have ran it on a closed system to see what it would do wouldn't they?

I'm really not worried, at worst, I email my novels to myself in a safety guarantee and I make sure I don't go on any bullshit sites.

It's not bullshit,if your wondering if your safe then do an anti virus update,the first thing it will do is dis able your ability to update or even visit your anti virus site for an update.

If you cant update then you got problem's.

See you guys on the 2nd...

I love these guy's with mac's that think their invulnerable to a virus.

hahahahahahahaha

Now maybe if some people actually used Mac's their would be a reason to write a virus for one,but they are out there.
