In the unlikely case that you've not heard of Conficker by this point in time:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conficker
Basically this takes over your internet connections and p2p to distribute itself while destroying your computer. If you think you have this on your machine, check all personal financial and other accounts for theft/fraud(preferably using a secure computer or in person).
NOTE: If you have this worm, DO NOT use a usb drive to transfer anything to the infected computer. If you do, format the usb drive afterwards(this maybe difficult/not doable without infecting more machines so just don't do it) as the worm would have copied itself to it. Also the worm blocks all anti virus websites. I dunno if its smart enough to block using google cache as a proxy however(our work filter is not as far as text content is concerned).
I am posting this because my co-worker just got this on his home machine from a flash gaming website called Pogo.com(DON'T GO THERE) _________________ People's whole lives do pass before their eyes before they die. The process is called living.
Most of the time its easier to get along with people before you get to know them. |
