TIPS ON HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF!!





1) DOWNLOAD THE SYMANTAC CONFIKER REMOVAL PROGRAM!!!



RUN THE PROGRAM AND CHECK TO SEE IF YOU HAVE THE VIRUS. IF YOU DO NOT THEN DO ALL OF MY FOLLOWING TIPS!!



2) SAVEING YOUR FILES.



You probably have important files that you would not like to lose so please do the following.



MOST IMPORTENT:

PUT ALL YOUR FILES IN ONE FOLDER AS I HAVE DONE SINCE I GOT MY COMPUTER



A) REMOVE ANY UNNESSESARY FILES!!

  if you have junk on your computer REMOVE IT it will not be needed.

B) Take all extreamly important files and save them as .RAR files

  if you dont have: http://www.rarsoft.com/download.htm

save them and put in your folder!!

now PUT ALL YOUR FILES IN A FLASH DRIVE OR RECORDABLE DISK!



3) CREATE A WINDOWS REBOOT DISK!!

  TO CREATE A WINDOWS REBOOT DISK, STAR TUP YOUR COMPUTER AND WHEN IT SAYS "PRESS F11 TO START RECOVERY" PRESS F11!!!



THEN FOLLOW THE STEPS FROM THERE





4) DO NOT USE THE INTERNET FROM APRIL 1st to APRIL 7th



the virus will most likely strike the 1st week

My computer is updating itself and I've been running scans, so I'm pretty positive I don't have the virus.
I really hope none of you guys get infected by this.

There are some fake stuff out there that say they remove the Conficker virus but they actually give you a trojan. I recommend you don't go looking around for stuff like that and only go to sites and download things that you trust. Also, make sure that your computer is updated. If your computer hasn't updated recently, you may have the virus.

Go here to get your computer scanned: http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm

A simple reinstall of Windows should fix it. I have already backed up all my files.

So why would a serious website write about it after 1th of April? I don't think that a serious IT website wants to lower their popularity for a little joke.

it all has a reason for them to post even if its 1 big joke, when you can use a joke to make money you would do so

How are they supposed to make money out of that?? Several sites are describing the virus, have you some proof that the virus DOESN'T exist?

No.. maybe because everyone on SonicROMs are clever people that are virus-prevention masters? Ok, I lack evidence I give up. But I still wonder how they can make money out of this...

Well, the scare around the virus may prompt some ppl to go out and buy antivirus software, when they otherwise wouldn't have... I bet the creators are just waiting for the heat around it to die down before they do something. Or maybe they're simply trying to mess with ppl... that's what hackers usually do. Screw with ppl cuz they've got nothin' better to do...

Thats exactly how i picture it in my mind. Well The hackers ALWAYS have nothing better to do because they already screwed their lives earlier. They are just people who hate us so they crash our computers. Now thats mean. And just curious, do they actually talk and type leet? Or is it leet just a fake way of talking

I doubt very much actual hackers use leet-speak, but who knows with those guys.  :P  Like I said, they mess with computer systems for lack of anything better to do, and cuz that's what they know most about...
