From what I hear this could be a mass "social engineering" job. The intent is to have people google confiker worm, which could possibley lead you to sites that contain the payload. My suggestion is keep your antivirus up to date and avoid doing any web searches for the confiker worm.Comment

I watched 60 Minutes for the first time in years last night and they had a story about this thing. Scary stuff. I love how the guy from Symantec basically said his antivirus software was the only way you could assure yourself you won't be infected.Comment

Symantec is probably the worst anti virus out there, I recommend AVG or Kaspersky.Comment

I have internet on my phone. Think I might just avoid turning my PC on.
They said on 60 minutes though that most people have the virus already, it's just waiting for instructions which will go out April 1.Comment

Hmm well that would explain the message I got on Avast late last night with an orange background asking if i'm ready for April 1st.

It exploits an RPC vulnerability, make sure your machines have the latest MS patches and you should be fine, the specific patch you need is MS08-067.Comment

I'd never even heard of this. Fortunately, my virus software is up to date and I never click on any suspicious things.Comment
