With April 1st come and gone, many people are wondering “How do I know if I have the Conficker worm?” How do you know if you have the Conficker virus? (Also known asDownadup.) Here’s how to tell if you have the Conficker virus. With the Conficker Eyechart. Now the answer to how to know if you have the Conficker worm is just a link-click away! A consortium of security companies, including F-Secure, Trend Micro and Secure Works, and many more, have banded together to create a simple eye-chart style test which will determine whether your computer is infected with the Conficker worm! Here’s how it works: a ‘chart’ of six images is displayed on the page. The clever folks at these companies have rigged the chart so that some of the images will not display if you have one version of the Conficker worm, other images will not display with another version of Conficker, and if your computer is not infected, you’ll see all six images. Nifty, huh? Here’s the link!

With all of these vry dangerous virus an worms. They all have way to infect are PC are Cell phones are electric grid they well infect in gateway that is for sure. These scum interlopers are not invisable they can be dealt with countermeasures. Unplug your power from your PC and unplug your Cable and or Telephone lines o from your PC. And turn off your Cell phone and I pod before you get ready to go to bed. I know this is impossable for some people. Because of a possible emergency situation that might arise were they needed to keep there phone line open. These Virus and Worms needed a very active systems to keep them going. i am just trying to take away allot of there illegal gateways that is all.
