Dataanti Posted March 30, 2009 Report Posted March 30, 2009 I recommend keeping your computers off n April 1st to protect your computer from the Conficker. Its a 2 stage worm, stage A spreads it around, this stage has already succeeded in infecting millions of computers. Stage B is activates it on April 1st. The second stage gets you computer ready to receive a set of instructions on April 1st. No one knows what happens after that, but if I were you I would try to avoid getting those instructions, if your PC is off or not connected to the internet that day then you should be 100% safe. Also UPDATE your virus protection/fire wall and get all windows updates as soon as you see them.
T3A guy Posted March 30, 2009 Report Posted March 30, 2009 (edited) It isn't guaranteed to activate April 1st, but it is likely according to 60 minutes/CBS. Here is one way to remove it: http://www.anti-spyware-101.com/remove-conficker Edited March 30, 2009 by T3A_guy

Dataanti Posted March 30, 2009 Author Report Posted March 30, 2009 if you just turn off ur PC for the day and w8 till the next you will be fine, then the conficker wont get the set of instructions needed to do whatever its gonna do
