-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Conficker

What I specifically did was start>search>all files & folders.  The words I 
searched individually are:Conficker, Downadup, Kido, and Waledac.  I read 
something with all these aliases (aliai?) and searched them. All the 
"confickers" were IE files with the blue e Icon except one.  I thought those 
were maybe temp files, but the exception was named conficker.dbx.  I just 
read my initial post and it was not stated clearly enough for an innocent 
byspector to understand.  Sorry 'bout that :o) What I really want to know is 
how come that virus word was a dbx and it your reply just penetrated after 
about 20 minutes, DUH.  (lights come on) It's a dbx because it's a subfolder 
in OE under pctt.  Thanks! ~Glo
