Dear cybernauti, the first in April we know is the day of the jokes. Jokes that sometimes can be really dangerous. In the age of globalization and also the web 2.0 fish pass over the network in April.
Researchers of McAfee Avert Labs will warn Conficker worm, known to act by exploiting vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows. Conficker is introduced in the pc trying to deactivate the security system and sabotaging the tools to remove it.
The worm / Conficker.C not strike until 1 April but also in the following days, probably 2 and 6 April, for each day, generating more listings of different Internet domains (50,000 different domains created every single day mentioned). But the threat of the virus does not stop here: worm / Conficker.C is designed to block access to popular sites such as security bulletins and Microsoft security updates of the main house antimalware software, including CA. Its goal is to turn into a zombie PCs hit and use it for spamming attacks and denial-of-service (DDoS).
Is possible to find out if your computer is infected by visiting sites such as Microsoft.com or McAfee.com: if access is denied, is a first sign that the worm is in action.
To ensure safety, we recommend that you update as soon as possible to your system with the Microsoft security patch MS08-067 and scan your system even more 'than once if necessary. For all those who were to detect the infection of Conficker and lack of appropriate countermeasures (anti-malware software) you can use a Stinger tool to remove the worm and its variants made by McAfee Avert Labs.
We hope that the terrible worm, is just a media hype, as was the millennium bug.
We will waiting tomorrow!!
