Conflicker.C Worm is Going to Strike again on 1st April 2009

Is the worm "smart" as to ignore systems if they are not windows ?
If yes, you can mask windows as linux or osx and you should do just fine

Remove Conficker.C files and dll’s

%System%\[RANDOM FILE NAME].dll

Unregister Conficker.C registry values:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\netsvcs\Parameters\”ServiceDll” = “[PathToWorm]”

Well why not give the internet a break for that one day if everyone is so scared?

Why not use Linux for that day at least than giving internet a miss?

 

[MetalheadGautham]

thats d best thing to do... unless a hardcore windows fan wants to install all d available stringent antiviruses, firewalls, ..... n implement all d possible safety measures.....

doing all that wont even b worth d trouble... bcuz u donot know whether ur pc is infected...... and also noone is sure of what exactly Conficker.C will do.

bst thing to do - install linux or just boot frm a live cd and surf d net tension free

Take a break & rest for one day. Keep some heavy download in linux & go to sleep or go out & enjoy.
