Theories on the Windows Worm

[[Gavo]]

I'm sure you've all heard of the worm that is infecting computers worldwide, called the Conficker (A.K.A Downadup or Kido). However, the worm has yet activate its payload. What do you guys think will happen when it activates? I bring this up because yesterday my friends and I were discussing it, and I jokingly suggested that it would Rickroll all the infected computers (at least 9.5 million, if I'm not mistaken). What do you guys think will happen?

I dunno, Skynet will become active and we're doomed?

Anyway, how do I get (or preferably not get) this damned thing?

***EDIT***

Oops, I just realized that you said how not to get it, not get rid of it. Sorry

How's this thing being spread? I'd rather not have my new laptop ger-fucked without me knowing it...

Well, supposedly it's a test virus.. I think it's kinda just like the amazon ant tactic where they throw hoards of themselves into rivers and create a bridge of the dead for the rest of them to cross on... This is like.. spreading gasoline everywhere before lighting it all on fire.

Rickrolling is what I would do, hands down. =P
