SPECIAL NOTICE - CONFLICKER
The Symantec Norton AntiVirus update on this virus is at:
http://www.symantec.com/norton/theme.jsp?themeid=conficker_worm#recommends
If you visit the above link you'll see them (not surprisingly) recommending their latest and greatest software, as the do in the excerpt below, but the most important note on the page is quoted below:
The Conficker worm,
sometimes called Downadup
or Kido has managed to
infect a large number of
computers. Specifics are
hard to come by, but some
researchers
estimate that millions of
computers have been infected
with this threat since
January.
Current users of Symantec’s
Norton security products are
protected.
Users who lack protection
are invited to download a
trial version of Norton
AntiVirus 2009, Norton
Internet Security 2009 or
Norton 360. All of these
products will detect and
remove this worm. Symantec
has a detailed technical
analysis of the threat
here.
So Conficker, like any virus, is a concern, but it should NOT be a very big one if you:
-
