OK, I'm going to let everyone to know how to not get infected in a few easy steps

1. Disable autorun for USBs, CDs etc (google search for how this step)
2. Browse safe websites and not sites that contain illegal things
3. Make sure you have the latest updates for your OS and antivirus
4. If you think you're infected use bitdefender's conficker remover at: http://www.bdtools.net
5. Don't download any suspicious files, even if it's in an email from a friend or a weird looking link over a messenger chat client


And that's all there is too it. You are now conficker free

Well not Pokecommunity alone, mainly unregistered domains. So it is highly unlikely it will attach itself to a .com domain.
ALright, well i sure hope not, will thos unregistered domains then be permanent? Is it posting info from the people who are infected and if you were infected would you know it now?

People can register their domains if they wanted to, I read somewhere that some .ca sites were registered because of this worm.

You probably wouldn't know yet as it is checking domains it can use so far, we'll have to wait for future threats of it and see what happens from there.
This is getting pretty real. i thought it was hype but man its like Y2K was delayed 9 years.

My mum was watching the news and she said that they were talking about how the Conficker virus turned out to be a hoax.
I'm not going to believe it until I get some hard evidence, but I am slightly relieved.

So wait you mean since PC is a registered domain that it wont get used as the virus hole? But say you type PC wrongly like pokecomunity instead of pokecommunity then you could possibly fall into that hole? No speed typing for me today!

Haha lol i dont think so i mean why would confiker be searching domains to use to attack computers. This **** is real and happening. After today i wanna see how bad the internet will be.

Question whats a good filter for ad block plus? I need to know so i can put it on. if not a subscription filter then how do i place my own?
EasyFilter.

I am so freaking worried about this. This is going to attack Windows operating systems, right? Goodness. And we may already havr it stored? Scary....
Why do people think they're going to be infected without browsing one of the many infected domains?

also it's April 1st now, no signs of infection
My mom just updated her computer, and now she's updating mine. :3

My mom also said that tomorrow, I cannot go on any websites, so, I won't be on here all day tomorrow, unfortunately, missing April Fools day here! ;______;
I am not going on my computer tomorrow. xD
I'm really happy, I updated my computer with brand new virus software two days ago and so I can stay on here all day.
This. With all the people offline thinking they're avoiding something big, the threat won't be as big.
April 1st is a trigger date. All that will happen is that it changes the way it looks for updates. This only applies if you already have the worm, and it will simply change what it does a little. The ruckus about people needing to stay offline is unwarranted, for a number of reasons. First of all, the worm primarily spreads through removable media and through networked computers. Second, and I cannot stress this enough, the trigger will not make you more likely to get the worm, at least not on April 1st. If the update for the worm is really well planned, it may make you more likely to catch it later, but for today at least, you're going to be no more in danger than you were yesterday.

My computer isn't networked, plus the only removable drives I use are my USB flash drives and my PSP, which never leave the house much.

Well, I went to the Microsoft site and it loaded just fine. I'm safe for now.

If it IS real, not ALL computers were claimed to possibly get the virus.

i heard that Macs get out of this one alive. As for the rest...

how exactly is this coming to us? Email, Im guessing?
he did it, not me.

Well I actually think thats it's not going to do much but its out there.

Theres no way its a hoax. First of all theres a reward for finding the creator or w/e.

Second the virus first surfaced a few months ago.

April 1st is just a date. Probably just to scare people.

What I really want to know is how people get it. Other then on networks and usbs.
I don't use this site since the whole pedophile incident. (And honestly didn't really use it before that.)
