what is the problem with this conficker virus?

i read about it etc.. i just don't get the whole problem xD what does it do ?

bustinthejustin · « **Reply #34 on:** March 27, 2009, 04:25:08 PM »

If you're infected, on april 1st it will supposedly contact the main computer and do something.. Could be an update to the virus that causes further damage, all computers could be used for DOS attacks, etc. Thing is, nobody is sure.

DarkShot · « **Reply #35 on:** March 27, 2009, 04:28:56 PM »

Indeed.

And it is a nasty little bugger.

I think me frand has it on his PC, so I got him to do a scan.

I am curious about what it will do, but I will be smart and instead, just read about what happens on the first.

DubbleDutch · « **Reply #36 on:** March 27, 2009, 04:31:21 PM »

and what if it's a april 1st joke from microsoft?

Dearest One

From Blessing Awa

Thanks for your mail, I got your mail in a wonderful day
and a happy day which I will like you to be seriose with
me ,It gives me the greatest joy to read from you.

Sometimes, life certainly can feel that way and what
better shelter from the storms and trials of daily life
than friendship and to know that there is someone out
there you can fall back on.

I'm 21years old and a high school leaving certificate
holder and the only daugther of my late parents Mr.and
Mrs.Awa Firstly, my father was a highly reputable
bussiness
magnate-(a cocoa merchant) who operated in the capital of
Ivory coast during his days It is sad to say that he
passed away mysteriously in France during one of his
business trips abroad year 12th.Feb. 2008.Though his
sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been
masterminded by an uncle of his who travelled with him at
that time.But God knows the truth!

My mother died when I was just 11 years old,and since then
my father took me so special. Before his death on Febuary
12 2008 he called the secretary who accompanied him to the
hospital and told her that he had a sum of $4.5 million US
DOLLARS (four million five hundred thousand USD)deposited
in Bank here in Abidjan, Ivory Coast.

He also said he used my name to Deposit the fund with the
Bank as his only daughter, as well as the next of kin to
the fund. He also explained to me that it was because of
this wealth that he was poisoned by his business
assocaites, That I should seek for a foreign partner in a
country of my choice where I will transfer this money to
and use it for investment purposes.

I want you to assist me in transfering this fund into your
account overseas as a beneficiary of the fund,and also use
it for an investment purpose.

Really I don't know what to do. Now I want you help me so
I can transfer this funds.

This is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a
result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast.
The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life,
Presently I'm in Abidjan.

Dearest one,I am in a sincere desire of your humble
assistance in this regards Your suggestions and ideas will
be highly regarded.

Now permit me to ask these few questions:-

1. Can you honestly help me?
2. Can I completely trust you?
3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be
good for you after the money is retrived?

Please,Consider this and get back to me as soon as
possible.

Thank you so much.
Yours,

Miss Blessing.

Torrent sites have nothing to do with this. Stop talking whilst you still can. You don't know what you're talking about.

Second, not necessarily. Some virus' can be embedded in emails, if I remember correctly.

Yeah, thats true, although if you use a web based email like gmail or hotmail instead of using outlook or thunder, it pretty much cuts down the risk to 0.01%

(Like, the only way to get infected via gmail would be to open an infected attachment or open a link)

O.O that means any image like sigs on forums could do this O.O
