Did the Conflicker Virus affect your computer?

I've been hearing about this for the past week or so. It's like the media is treating it like another Y2K.

So did anyone's computer get affected by this virus?

no.

all my tech news feeds were about conficker, so, totally. goddamn you, conficker!

Isn't this just an April Fool's joke?

aw man...

I don't really think I was...
I doubt that its an April Fool's thing.
Dell made my computer update for what they were hoping to prevent it.

Could be, but this seems pretty big.

Mine wasnt, my husbands work computer was.

April 1st. Worst day of the year to be caught without updating anti-virus.

I'm an idiot I fell for it.

Well played, sir, well played.

Damned media hyperbole. Curses!

My computer works better, faster.

You got me

No idea, took a while to log on yesterday but thats the burden of early chilly mornings.

No I don't really know what I'm going on about either.

I don't know why anyone was afraid of this. If it's so well known that the mainstream media reports it, it's probably not dangerous anymore.

Exactly. Symantec, McAfee and Windows have had patches for it since October.

I'm pretty sure my computer is totall....ENLARGE YOUR PENIS TODAY...y fine. I'm not sure why people are ev...IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR YOU, POINTBLANK!!..en worried about this. I doubt that it's going to affe...C1ALI5 SALE NOW!!...ct anyone, to be honest.

Really? That would be impressive, since Conficker A wasn't discovered until late November. The patch to close the original infection vector was released in October, but Conficker has become more sophisticated since that time. Here's a good overview on Conficker.

Seriously. I harp on my parents about this, but every time one of them has a computer problem and I use their computer every damned thing is like 3 months out of date. At least my mom finally upgraded so I can leave all the automatic updates on without bringing her computer to a halt.

a virus in my macbook? HA!
