Sounds like you're covered, Judith. :)
I hope you folks are sharing this info with your friends & families. If
this worm blows up like some of the other major worms we've had in the past,
the internet is about to become a very dangerous place. That's because the
control this one assumes is much more powerful than anything that's come
before it. Those systems that already have the worm will basically become
part of a live botnet under someone else's control and the writers of
Conflickr are incredibly intelligent. I don't mind sharing that I'm a lot
more than just 'concerned' about what's going to happen on April Fool's day.
Of course, they may choose to do absolutely nothing and just enjoy all the
squirming the entire security sector has been doing since the discovery.
lol
Peace,
Gman
