Clipmarking this article, just in case. So far there isn't too much activity caused by this worm... But you never know if one of these human created machine viruses will strike you or I mean your puter. Keep your computer updated plus your virus protection. I use AVG because IT'S FREE and it seems to do the job.

Too bad we can't fix the economy as easy. Maybe there should be a banking protector Like AVG... oh, I forgot there was but it went to sleep.

<P>The <SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1238515667_0>Conficker worm</SPAN>, a nasty 
computer infection that has poisoned millions of PCs, will start ramping up its 
efforts Wednesday to use those machines for cybercrimes. It's unclear whether 
everyday PC users will even notice, but this is as good an excuse as any to make 
sure your computer is clean.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://tech.yahoo.com/news/ap/20090331/ap_on_hi_te/tec_conficker_what_to_do">There are some easy ways to figure out whether a computer has the Conficker
