Title: Conficker: Your Opinion
Post by: Charon on 04, April, 2009, 04:37:00 PM
So, now that the Conficker update is pretty much done and over with (for now), what's your opinion of the worm that's freaking pretty much everyone working for Microsoft?

I think that there's more damage to be done, but I don't think it will be computer-threatening. I don't see a reason why the programmer of this would have a reason to completely annihilate your BIOS or something crazy like that (cue, "MITCHMAN IS from PC is an idiot").

I was more worried about the sorts of things the update could let it do in the future than I was about the update itself, which was just an update. It could get pretty ugly, it's got the potential to mess up a lot of people. I don't know why people don't just stay up to date, Microsoft patched this before Conficker even surfaced.

I know that this may sound funny, but I have been wondering for a while now...

What is Conficker? I think it is a virus, but I am not sure.

Thank you in advance.

Have a nice day.
