OFF TOPIC: April 1st - Computer worm?

[artistjillian]

Here's the story: http://windowssecrets.com/comp/090330/#story1 SIXTY MINUTES - CBS News Show showed this is set for world wide distribution. It's in computers now and will likely steal bank and other sensitive information, cause denial of service attacks, and take over computers. Computers must be protected, read this. It's NO JOKE! Read this article on this link at windowssecrets.com (trusted computer gurus) for more information. OK, it's either true or false - I don't know. But certainly is a big story today. I'm always suspicious of any 1st April stories (April fools), but then, that is when some people like to unleash things like viruses. Read, and decide for yourself. Or check Australians, English, to see if it hit their computer systems, as it's already April 1st in other countries. -- ~Jillian artist, Jillian Crider ... google me!

Here is a message below that my son sent me about where to DL free software that will detect and remove this virus. (and others too). He works for a software manufacturer..It's called Stinger. I ran it on my PC ..found everything to be OK..I also have the complete McAfee package... "The Conficker virus is supposed to kick off and run on April 1st. It is reportedly a nasty one and supposedly interferes with a computer's ability to connect to many security-oriented websites (like McAfee, Norton AV, etc.). Here's a downloadable tool from McAfee Antivirus to detect and remove the virus if it's currently present on your Windows machine. http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/ You should also run the latest MS Windows updates." -- Hannah Visit my ME page to see all my listings...Thanks
