If this is foreal, I fucking hate nerds,
now I'm worried about ordering vinyl tomorrow.
and probably won't get around to doing so.

fuck you nerds.

it supposedly strikes at midnight tonight,
I'm gonna disconnect from the interwebz, and turn of my comps.

so help me god if one vinyl in my basket on redeye is out of stock, I'll make it personal to rip those hacker fools a new asshole.

That's gay, but did you read what it did? Those people are fucking genius.

are you infected with it already?
if not then you dont need to worry about it
Microsoft released a critical security patch for this in October 2008: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/securi ... 8-067.mspx

apply this patch and you should be fine.

My other cumputer got infected with it. Formatted the whole hard drive and had to get a new motherboard.

Haha! Gutted!

nope, not infected...

think I might have that, but I'm gonna get it again just incase I don't.

dunno if I should order stuff yet.

What's the date on this one again?

Today

basically - since october The worm has been generating a long list of different website names which it uses to check in its hunt for instructions
when infected the work will attempt to contact these http sites every 5 mins
on april 1st - the virus triggers itself to make less attempts to access these http sites but the list of sites become more refined.
so from April the 1st they are more likely to get successful connections and receive their 'orders' on what to do. - these orders could be seriously damaging or a complete hoax - nobody knows yet.
They may also not nesscesarily receive their 'orders' today. it could be any day from here on - kind of like a triggered time bomb.

this is much more worrying:

i wonder who makes these viruses, probably the same people who mysteriously come up with the solution "in the nick of time"

thats a myth

Conficker has been around since october and still can't be full protected against
Virtumundo is pretty much uncleanable as well.

wish i had a mac really...

It seems that the days of virus free macs are numbered too, people are writing more viruses for them as many are completely unprotected and the users often think that macs are free of viruses.

That be said, when I used to work in production offices around soho (where almost everyone uses a mac) I didn't find one mac that was virus free. It seemed that almost the entire freelance production workforce was using the same macro virus infected word and excel documents, the same cracked virus infected copy of office, had no antivirus or the same virus infected copy of norton, and was a total e-tard who didn't know what a virus was in the first place.

well that's a bit worrying. i had a load of virus warnings pop up in nod32 last night and i think it was all after midnight

i've got norton on my computer too though so hopefully it'll be ok as tone of those linked websites reckoned it had sufficient protection against conficker

heres a piece of malware which has infected a satellite, altering TV programs to include Star Trek-related photos.
