Wow, I've never heard of this before.

I do try to keep people updated... [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/88732-Three-Million-Hit-By-Windows-Worm-Updated]

Latest News is that Conficker C has broken out but, as of yet, there has been no updates. And unfortunately, this isn't an April Fool's joke.

Well if this affects my computer those jack wads who made the virus had better hope they don't run into me.
They would get a good paddling before I turn them into Microsoft.

i think i might even have this fucking thing on my computer already.
and it's to the point where I can't even be angry about it. i just don't understand.



to the creators of this worm, what is your reasoning? what purpose does it serve? do you have nothing better to do than destroy people's computers and make people's lives miserable?

why would you do such a horrible thing to so many people for no feasible reason other than something that's just ego? I don't understand. please someone help me understand why people have to be so cruel

It's all about power and ego. Think about it. The entire world is panicky, there's a conficking bounty on their head(s). Imagine the boost to their sense of self importance. This is why supervillains go into business.

I'm not your friend, guy!

Does this affect Macs?

No.

And what kind of degenerate and pathetic scum writes a virus for a Mac anyway?
