heyhey guys!!! here are some information on the deadly virus known as conflicker which came out recently:
Anyway i back to update telling those reader to becarful of their computer on affecting CONFLICKER WORM IN THEIR COMPUTER . READ MORE BELOW! A MALICIOUS virus infecting more than nine million PCs will strike Australia today, potentially creating a spam-spewing army or stealing banking passwords in an unprecedented financial fraud.
The virus, known as Conficker, Downadup and Kido, is programmed to download new instructions from its makers on April 1 and computer security experts said the payload could be devastating. The risk is so great
Microsoft has offered a $US250,000 reward for information on those who released the virus and the US
Department of Homeland Security yesterday released a tool to scan for and remove the bug.
Australian Computer Emergency Response Team information security analyst Zane Jarvis said a third variant of the Conficker virus was to blame for the most recent threat, which could affect 15 million computers worldwide. Mr Jarvis said many computer users would not know their computers were infected, as the Conficker virus showed few signs of its existence other than blocking access to the websites of anti-virus companies and Microsoft. Australia would be one of the first countries hit by the virus, Mr Jarvis said, though it might not take effect for several days. Symantec endpoint security senior manager Robert Pregnall said that while it was not clear what instructions the virus would download, its makers were likely to be motivated by money and could use it to steal banking or credit card details. The Conficker virus gains entry into Windows-based computers through a vulnerability in the operating system.
