Good looks.

disconnecting your comp. will probably not help unless you plan to keep it disconnected forever. i would guess that the instructions will be sent continuously.
if you dont have it already you have nothing to fear, to check if you have it:
check your windows updates
if automatic update is off, and you cannot manually update you may have this particular virus

Im downloading the Windows Protection update am I good?

 

[Mister Meaner]

I'm running Avast 4.8 Home Edition and I just opened it up for the first time in months. I read a message saying that April 1st yadda yadda yadda, and theyare prepared yadda yadda yadda. I think I'm good, I just won't be visiting ANY pron sites for a while.

^ yeah, about 2 weeks ago. I was in the same boat. Luckily I had just backed up my cpu or I would've been hella pissed.

 

[drekin06]

Why are people diconnecting your computer and turning it off. They already announced that wont do you any good because whenever you choose to turn on yourcomputer, you can still get the virus.

 

[lurkin2long]

i just updated

 

[the minister]

how do you get this virus.

 

[jawnyquest]

rip internet

 

[rightguard]

lol im talking to my friend she telling my her office doesnt have an antivirus protection

 

[Mister Meaner]

I hope my job gets infected for a good week or so...........damn, actually nah, playing with people and their meds would be FTL.

 

[nycknicks105]

How do you stop this?

 

[freshly snipes]

lol im talking to my friend she telling my her office doesnt have an antivirus protection
%%!? That is not a good look. I am the sole IT person (Systems Administrator) for a company of 50 people. We got client-server Trend Micro running24/7 on all of the computers and they are all updated with the current Microsoft security patches. I'm honestly not too worried. I didn't do to much toprepare and I'm hoping for the best. I have talked to a bunch of other IT people and they all agreed that this whole thing is a little overblown. I'mnot losing sleep over it and I'm hoping for the best.

 

[luckyp90]

im to scared to do the update, I downloaded that microsoft malicious software removal though. Scanning it now along with my avast.

 

[the minister]

44 minutes and counting

 

[socluis90]

my windows won't update. FML

 

[ericescobar]

the internet had a good run. way to ruin it 4chaners
r.i.p. until the next big thing

 

[hypebeast mcstreetwear]

Runnin the scan now.

 

[cels the younggod]

I'm hoping for the best

The conficker virus blocks your computer from going there so if you're able to load the site, you don't have it... yet

Also turning off your computer won't help. But I'm still doing it anyways

Some conficker removal tools:

Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool:

http://mscom-dlcecn.vo.ll...indows-kb890830-v2.6.exe

F-Secure removal utility

ftp://193.110.109.53/anti-virus/tools/beta/f-downadup.zip

McAfee's removal tool

http://67.97.80.71/vil/co...ger/Stinger_Coficker.exe

This $@!! is not touching me

This joint aint loading for me.

R.I.P?
