I saw an offtopic thread on this, but thought it should be in general chat as it is very important. There is a massive computer virus running around (actually a worm) called Conficker. Many virus protections dont even detect it. A site that I found can remove it is http://www.malwarebytes.org/ So if your computer is running a little slow today, or acting strange you most likely have it. It activated itself April 1st. Just trying to help

	Quote by Walter Kovacs: ^^ sounds more like a microsoft joke... oh i forgot thats any microsoft OS So true... and I run Vista and im admitting that. You think they would find vulnerabilities before someone who isnt getting paid to do it does.

	Yes, I have heard about it as well. Says its main purpose is to get all you credit card info......takes everything you have ever typed and narrows it down to just what seems possible to credit/debit card information. watch your bank acct as well people!!!

	It blocks and destroys anti-malware (your anti-virus protection) actions. Scary stuff. But it didnt detonate April first. It just evovled again. Maybe it was someones idea of a joke? LMAO. There is still a 250,000 bounty to anyone who can provide informatoin leading to the arrest of the creator.
