Conficker C

[Blockbuilder321]

Have you heard of the "virus" release on April 1rst? Its unkown what it will do but theres rumors it'll delete all your files. To be on the safe side, back up your computers and absolutely don't log onto anything. It may steal your password. Although I'm starting to get a feeling a pop up will pop up saying "April Fools!", is there anyway to make a scirpt or something to catch the guy who make it? Theres a 1/4 million reward from microsoft. Heres some sources:

Search Next time, We have like 3 other of these topics...

No, you cannot just "script" and find a hacker/person who makes viruses. There isn't going to be an "April Fools!" pop-up either. Also IMO, I think backing up your files will back up the virus also because it's stored in there, so your spreading the virus. I think the guy is so smart making it so you back it up to online "hard drive backer-uppers" and It spreads to there whole sight, infecting Major Corporations who backed theirs up so hence spreading everywhere.

Ya I kind of forgot to use the search, but I'm pretty sure the virus will start spreading on April 1rst, so it may be safe for now to back up. But in the article it said the virus is one of the most dangerous viruses out there, well that will be out there.

hoax.

Its already spreading, it goes off April first

[Messes]

but I'm pretty sure the virus will start spreading on April 1rst,

Do you even read the articles you link us too? It's already spread, It's not a hoax because My friend and I have both had it, Me being in my Combat Arms and Gmod files, and it's set to Delete hard drives on April first, not spread. It's already too late...Make a shelter in a scary forrest full of ghouls and zombies, Only then will it be safe.

At my grandpa's work, they bought a $350 Anti-virus software for large companies, so he might install it on my comp too... Hopefully today lol.

I've never heard of NOD32 before, If it looks good and is kinda expensive, I say go for it.

Booted in safe mode to check, scanned over System32 and Windows folders, running Microsoft's online checker, about to run McAfee, checked for update.

I'm like the dude in his basement in December of '99.

Let's do this.

Remember:
Microsoft is offering a quarter of a million dollars for the head of the douchebag who created conficker.

So what happens if I set my clock to April second of the year before repetetively? Think it'll still go off eventually?

It can't not activate on April 1st, unless no internet.
