This site says a bunch about this worm that is going to take over a TON of computers. Not only that site, but a bunch of others say that too. So I'm wondering, should we be concerned about this? o.O?!

well i have searched a lot of sites, and none of them says what Conficker "actually" do to your computer. All i see is it downloads 50.000 domains. What could that do to your computer?
I know, it disables all security things, removes anti-virus programs, terminates all security process, tuns off the Windows Update, Windows Security Center and that stuff.

Lets just hope that DC's USGN server is NOT on Windows. Maybe Windows 3.1?

My computer was not infected by that virus.
BTW: I have a Windows XP.

I've been infected by a jL.chura.pl.
This virus is old, or better, it's a Trojan.
It implants a html file in your browser and infects all things... hopefully my avast! Anti virus was stopping it but it resisted... I had to make a point of restoration for my computer to completely remove it! Damn Polish Trojans... ×

Damn.... I got jL.chura.pl. and now Win32:Vitro! Onehorrible virus that infects each file that you open, and when you delete the worm, the file/program deletes too (like Paint, Notepad)!

Google it... it's a pro virus...

That's why i'm in my old PC...

Death To Win32:Vitro!! (FTL - For The loose)

as you see, conficker blocks you from accessing anti-virus sites and security sites. so there is a little test you can do:
Click me!

>Free and simple
>No need to download anything

I don't think much of it. Just don't execute anything strange. If my knowledge is correct... a virus can't just jump on your system anyway. If all else fails.... unplug yer internet connection!

If you have a real-time scanner that's updated it should already have the conficker virus signature. Therefore... It should, at least... in theory, stop it before it starts. That way it rules out internet cookies and temps and such. I don't have one yet though. But I'll be fine just the same.

www.VirusTotal.com is a awesome online scanning site in my opinion. It'll only scan single files though. If it could scan your whole PC it would probably take a week! It also has alot of false positives... but considering it uses 40 anti-virus engines.... I can imagine why. They usually just label it "Suspicious" anyway. Depending on which engine flagged it... you might find a link in the log somewhere giving some details on why it flagged it. It's top notch in my book. I can't seem to upload huge files though.... but that could be just me. My internet is quirky at times. I would suggest you use it on every executable you get (BEFORE you execute it...). Other things too I suppose... but really... things like pics are usually safe. It's .exe files that I worry about.... especially since I downloaded that trojan dropper couple months ago... . I like VirusTotal and recommend it to everyone.

But then again... what do I know?! It said windows wasn't a virus!
