We cannot say this enough. Just a quick post to remind you to run your security updates. Don’t assume that because you have antivirus and/or spyware protection that it is updated. This is the worst type of attitude to have on the management of your computer. Otherwise, you will be in for a computer repair eventually.
The method to protect your system is by updating all software and Windows OS updates issued by Microsoft. Today, I am on my way to a customer here is St. Louis to repair and secure their computer. It contains all the classic symptoms of the most recent variation of the Conficker. I’ll be busy to say the least. To give you an idea to the extent of damage. The system is completely locked. The customer cannot even get the login screen to come up.
Don’t think April 1st’s passing was the end to Conficker. In fact, April 1st was just a publicity opportunity for the media to gain attention to their periodical or news source.
