Conficker
Horrible april fools joke, or serious password-stealing infection? I'm pretty surprised there isn't a thread about this already.

I found the worm on mine.
On 18, 2008 of the year August, we shall have tea. The following day we eat anyone wearing purple clothes. Then we get into tanks, drive a mile away from each other, and start firing random shells into the air. First one to hit the other tank gets a 5 second head start in the 1 legged race.

In the one legged race, you will be hogtied and forced to compete in the Boston marathon using your penis only. We shall also set down bear traps, landmines, barbed wire, and floating thumbs. Your penis will be painted to resemble an illusion that looks like a 3-D steak; as a result, several Dobermen and Rottweilers we will be taking for a walk that morning which have been starved the previous week may attack.
Obviously it's an April Fool's joke. The whole article was "ZOMG, GET OUR SOFTWARE OR YOUR COMPUTER IS GOING TO BE INFECTED!!111ONEONE!!11ONE!"

I got conflicker A a while back on my old computer.

It is terrible and makes your computer slow and terrible. It helped I had no a/v on my old computer, so it was free to rampage.

Now, whether this C payload is going to be as bad or as hard hitting as it's previous editions is up for grabs, but don't call it an april fool's joke.

Viruses are srs bsns.
I was just now about to post about this cus my friend told me about it, and I hit new thread but this caught my eye just before I did and I hit back lol.

I was gonna ask you guy's what you thought so I would know if I should go on tomorrow
I find it suspicious that i've heard zilch of it here in Denmark. Nothing in the TV, radio or newspaper. And the news here are usually looking for disasters in foreign countries to plague us with, because there's not enough bad stuff going on here. >.>
For all i know, this could be a serious threat or just another widespread april fools joke, i'm not going to care about it anyhow, since i'm not infected. And because of the current date. =P
<Blam|Homework> oiubt veubg
various places to find me lol
^ woudlnt be so sure shook

you could have been infected, because a conficker will bury itself inside windows files, and then delete the original virus, so you cant find it, so just cause you cant find it now, doesnt mean you dont have it, i know i do cause i got it in march, and couldnt be bothered to delete it, now its gone :S

also, the trigger is programmed to start at 0:00 2/4/09 (gmt - 6) so there wont have been a reaction yet
This reminds me of the Dark Knight.

If you tell people that it's a deadly virus and not a joke, they will know what to do.

If you don't say anything and release it on April Fools day, people wouldn't know shit.
