Soccercrazy Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Anyone else heard of this virus? After doing some research I found out that computers have already been infected with the worm. It is "supposed" to become active on April 1st,2009. There is a hole in the Microsoft operating system that has been fixed back in November to prevent this virus from happening. If your computer isn't up to date with Microsoft's updates you can be getting this virus. This can just be a huge April fools joke, but better be safe then sorry.

Yeah, it better fucking do somthing horrible. Otherwise it was a waste of time. But it sure is an intelligent virus, this is the future right here. Wait until they learn how to shutdown power grids.

vandium Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Vandium was involved in creating this virus. He knows a lot about it. That's the reason he will be dissapointed if it doesnt work. Also that is why he thinks it was a waste of his time. No. It is going to work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soccercrazy Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 MIcrosoft is giving $1 million to the people who find the people who made this virus.:oo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Love Lamp Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Also, a worm can't force itself on your computer. If you browse the internet safely and aren't a gigantic retard, you should be safe. If you really think your shit gonna be whack, download this firefox addon for additional safety: Noscript. If you get a virus while browsing the Internet with this on, you are honestly completely hopeless. EDIT: So I just read that article and this thing is honestly a giant hoax. I can taste it.

fdh Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Halp! I has been taken hostage! The worm is here! I'm typing to you using my keyboard wired to an internet line with aluminum foil.

Wingless Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 There was a big shared services email that went out here which pretty much boiled down to "don't be a douche bag on the web". Keep your virus definitions up to date, run your security updates and surf intelligently. Lamp is exactly right - I use noscript if I'm going anywhere I would consider questionable. If I were even more paranoid, I use a virtual machine for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingless Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Disable startup services through msconfig. Reboot. Update your AV. Run your AV. Run spybot. Reboot. Add VALID apps back to startup. Profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdh Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 ^^True true I tried to remove it yesterday using tv. It might be more "contained" now but its still recreating .exe lies in system32. MalwareBytes won't find the root virus causing the problem. I thought I found it yesterday but it came back and I had to go. The registry files it needs to delete on reboot always fail b/c reboots do not work O_o. Then when going back to last known configuration nidle.exe and etc are back. I thought about HijackThis but Girl would prolly delete stuff that is legit as well :-x Maybe dl hijackthis and post a log Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, will take. jay-kay jay-kay LOL I don't have the source code... else I am the author LOL I have the binary file though. The Conficker C, however, is useless if you have updated your Windows after Oct-2008 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
