CAUTION BEWARE OF POSSIBLE VIRUS ON APRIL 1st

All computer users BEWARE. The Conficker C virus is on the loose as it is expected to damage millions of computers on April Fool’s Day. I hope everyone does take it seriously as this is not a joke. Security experts are on the run to search for the worm and disinfect it before it does mass damage.


Researchers have named the worm Conficker Cabal as they start the search for hunting it down. All members of the anti-worm society are trying to hunt it down as well as to find a solution to control the damage, if they are not able to stop the virus from spreading. It has been reported that on April 1, a super computer would have control of all the infected machines.

Microsoft have put up a bounty of $250,000 for the members if they find the author and the worm before damage is done, due to which all the members are working day and night, looking for the developer of the worm as well as the virus.

Microsoft earlier released figures that the worm had already infected around 10 million computers worlwide.Â

It is believed that the virus would be able to delete all of the files on the computer or get the complete control of the person’s computer or even monitor a person’s keyboard strokes to collect private information such as passwords, bank account information, or even credit card details. It has also been told by experts that the virus would try to get computer users buy fake software or spend money on other phony products.

An expert told that hackers these days dont try to mess with the machines, instead they are looking for ways in which money is involved. Someway or the other, they would be able to spend users money on fake things.

The best way to determine that you are infected or not is to check whether your windows made an automatic update in march, if YES, then your computer is doing pretty well. Also to be noted is that your antivirus is up to date. The Conficker C virus also disables the antivirus software to update

Thanks for the warning, but since it's not Star Wars-related, it should probably be in another forum ("off topic"?)

Glad I have a Mac. :-D

lol Actually no thats not where I got it!! I got it from another forum smartass!

But whats your point anyway?

A thank you for considering you and your computer would be more appropriate but some people have no common courtesy. I dont wish for members to loose their Star Wars related files. Is that ok by you? Oh wait....I dont care!

For the rest of the members, I hope you all got your updates done. Peace!

You're right. I'm sorry. I did type before I thought, and for that I do apologize.

My computer does thank you for your concern. I guess I'm just jadded from virus  'warnings' that turn out to be nothing but hot-air. Just to be safe, my anti-virus is always up to date, and my firewall is at the ready.

You  do seem to be an expert on hot air!

You shouldn't just be worried about a single day.  Run anti-virus, update it daily, make sure you're all patched up.  If you do those things, you'll stop 99% of viruses.  Practicing some safe browsing habits and you'll stop the rest.  Do those things on a daily basis, not just one day out of the year.

Can you not use red text next time?  That's killer on the eyes.

I like all this stuff about some super computer having controls of all the infected machines. I wish I had thought of that. My most recent plan for world domination involved a large army of 2-XL robots (Tiger's remake, naturally, he is far more menacing looking than the original Mego Corp. model). Unfortunately it never came to fruition, mostly because no matter how many of the dumb things I found at thrift stores and garage sales, I never managed to find one of the little bastards that worked. My wife is still nagging me to get rid of my army of toy robots that is taking up a good deal of our storage space.

So yeah, super computer taking control of infected machines. Sounds scary. What do we suppose it will do with our computers once it takes them over? I'm thinking Judgment Day, I just have this feeling that this whole diabolical scheme was not devised by a flawed human brain, but that of some perfect machine brain that has become self aware.

The end is nigh.

Mine still works.  World domination will be mine!

Ha! You need more than just one working robot if you are going to take over the world with it. Even if you had thousands of working 2-XLs, they would be useless to you without my master plan.

Oh, piss off with your silly 2-XL's. I've got control of over half of the galaxy's Dalek population! No one shall stand a chance! Muha! MuHA! MUWAHAHAHA!

Dude, you do know Daleks are fictional, right? Where 2-XL is a real toy robot? A real toy robot that talks. A real toy robot who teaches children... children with impressionable minds...

Your Daleks are doomed to failure, mostly because they are stupid looking dildos with arms.

Gaffer, Batman and his balls are PEANUTS in comparison to my master plan. If I could only get my hands on some of the damn things that still work, the world would be all mine.

And, see, that's the rub!  I have one that works.  You don't.  So much for Batman's balls and your peanuts.

Oh, but I have a backup plan...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Okay!  Okay!  You win!  Just keep that creepy, mind-controlling bear away from me!

You see now that my plans are flawless. Sooner or later, I WILL rule the world. If only I could get my damn 80s toys to work!
