CBC News Sunday - Conficker Virus/Worm - Real or April Fools Joke In Bad Taste?

[Hauntzor]

I remember this back when I had my PC. I was scared shitless but then nothing ever happened. Now I have a Mac so this can never happen to me now xD

[coolgame88]

you people are all stupit just have a anti-virus and the latest update so there can't happening nothing jezus

[riffatSHOW]

Lol i created this virus!!! Omg so cool i hope the cops dont catch me!!! :0

[ManofWario]

@riffatSHOW

Fail.

[8970sora8970]

OMG im so mad my computer hasa virus Worm.Win32.NetSky and i can only run my comp in safe mode. im trying to get rid of i right now, im sending this from my moms computer (ima kid)

[thecomputerman12121]

@8970sora8970 Netsky.. Hmm... NetSky does quite a few nasty things but it's not too much too get worked up over now that we have our big credit card stealing viruses. Basically, go on your mom's computer and download an anti virus setup application (AVG ONLY others might be viruses!!!!!!!!!!) and copy it too a USB drive. Next get your parents too install it and scan the system. When it's finished, make it remove the virus. If you have an anti-virus just scan and delete the virus.

[fuddy12345]

Whoever invented the Conficker is very smart to make something like that. They should work for the "Good-side".

[ZealonChaosMagi]

I praise the people who have designed this virus, that's if, it's real. If not, then my dream for an epic hacker has once again been destroyed.

Hahaha, stupid Windows. Linux ftw.

[flamer6870]

its not, it was actually on the news

[Moo2566]

allset* hehe

[Moo2566]

I feel bad for the people who don't know how to computer works. You need to make sure that you DON'T use free scans. I trust Mcafee and Norton. Using free scans are usually total BS and could even make your computer mone vunerable. Some people might not go on their computer today, why not? you virus can attack you tommorow. second stage starts today. keep your computer updated and download Norton or Mcafee from your computer and scan all your files and you should be alset =)

[nitemaric]

oh no problem

[Moo2566]

first stage is to infect the computer second stage is to do the damage, update your computer, use your anti-virus/scan your computer and keep it updated and put firewall up if it isn't already.

[easter11385]

it wont hack mine ihave special programs on mine

[Beatnikzombie]

It was all a hype.

[POProx199]

Uh, no. It's real, It happened to one of my best friends. Lucky for me, I have a Mac.

[mcoig]

CONFUCKER

[UltraTutorials]

APRIL FIRST IS MY BIRTDHAY FFS

[legendarystar11]

I Found A Web Which Says Conficker Removal, Conficker Worm Removal... I not so sure about the tag..

But Before You touch your mouse Look At The URL Links..... Conficker may fool by saying its is the virus removal... but the website will immediately install the virus and hack you computer data and more....

The virus is stealth that's why it can't be easily tracked down....

"In fact, experts say..."

CBC, state your sources...If you're still good at investigative journalism, THAT is what I expect from. You none else.

[jaworskij]

FFT.

Use Linux or MacOS and you won't have to worry abou getting a virus.

Secondly, the elite are trying to demonize the Internet and want to create Internet2 which will use IPv6 and then they'll force us to use chip implants.

[shadow3245]

Good post. 5* Shared. This has already hit some big corps hard. If you can install updates from Microsoft you are probably OK. Update everything especially your antivirus. Get a free firewall like Zone Alarm.
