Re: Conficker.C worm alert

This is the third time its happened, and targets cooperate offices, not personal pcs.

Also, use this to scan for for Conficker.C and use either of the tools on the site to delete, or the one Starhammer posted.

Re: Conficker.C worm alert

And I know a little bit more about this damn virus than some people because I spent a couple hours removing type b from a lot of school computers (yeah part of a, community service, thing because I got in a LOT of sh!t). But from what I know, there are hardly any machines (well still thousands, but nothing in numbers compared to type B) infected with type C, so there's not still not much to be afraid of. If you really think that your screwed, do an antivirus scan with the latest update. If type C actually comes up and you can't get rid of it, on April 1st, make sure you disconnect your PC from the internet entirely until you can remove the virus. That way, absolutely no information can come in, or go out of your PC unwillingly.

Re: Conficker.C worm alert

Type C only shows and can be removed in some virus scanners.
Its best to use one specifically made for to kill Conficker.C

Re: Conficker.C worm alert

Going to porn sites, without virus protection.
Clicking unknown advertisement links, without virus protection.
Going anywhere that is a "big" name website, without virus protection.

On a side not, Maggs, wtf is your problem?
The other day you sent me a message on PSN that said "Wtf, you twat!"
I'm sick of your bullshit.


Edit: I took out the actually swear word as you were bypassing the censoring system and put in the short version, not sure what is going on there but hope things can be ironed out some how, but please no bypassing the censor system..thanks. wink

I wonder if that means I'm going to be getting an unwanted message the next time that I log in.

edit: This is something that probably shouldn't be laughed at but I want to laugh anyways because it's smart. Nice sensor bypass (I DON'T CONDEM IT!). I just like the way you did it. Lol. At least anyone who is going to use it for evil can't read what he actually did.

You mean you do condemn it, you don't condone it.
Condemn means you don't want people to do it, condone means you're ok with people doing.
