So... How about that conflicker...

[munoi]

Honestly I'm not really good with computers... I mean I can build and maintain my own rig, but this conflicker shit is insane. I mean honestly... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-XBvVhKrbI (I can't use my own computer?) Have you guys heard anything this?

I may have watched if it wasn't a ten year old narrating

"oh yeah right. It's probably just a joke for tomorrow. hur hur hur"

Classic.

 

[munoi]

Oh... sorry I was actually watching this video at work; so I couldn't hear who was narrating... (I figured the decent reviews meant it could be taken seriously...) I mean If this is all just some April fools joke then I'll run with it.

Well, this is indeed on microsoft.com, but apparently the narrator is a little dyslexic. The headline actually reads:
"Learn about the Conficker computer worm: Most antivirus software could detect and prevent infection"
and you can clearly read it in his video, even as he misreads it.

Those things always get overblown and never work as they should. Just something to whip people into a frenzy over needlessly.

Ha!

EDIT: I actually had a customer call in because their VOIP phone wasn't working.

Cause: Their father had scared them about conflickr and they unplugged their modem to protect themselves.

Auxiliary: The customer was running the Mac OSX.

Mac - If you're dumb enough to spend twice as much on your personal computer, please learn how to use it.

Yep, it has so few users that no one would bother making a worm like this for it.

 

[detectiveconan16]

Please... NO CAD please!!! - Actually I wonder if that whiny fervor cooled down yet.

Checked my computer this morning, nothing. Then again I have this little paranoia about unfamiliar sites and files.

 

[Oktoberfest]

I'm thinking it's just a ploy to make people more aware of computer security

boring.
