There are so many computer worms and viruses around anymore that if I stopped to worry about all of them I'd have a panic attack. I have good anti-virus software on my computer and I'm careful of where I go. That's all I can do and I refuse to panic over it.

Actually I hadn't heard about this yet till your discussion so many thanks. I will have to warm my mom..her laptop has been crashing alot the last two days..She is not a computer whiz at all and she loves surfing the net and goes into every site imaginable and so I will have to check her computer out tomorrow if I get to go over to her house. Thanks here is a link I found on the net about it and how to get rid of it..

No, i'm not worried about the Conficker at all. I'm just using my phone to surf the net so i guess my phone won't be infected because i'm not using a Windows operating system. The virus may not function at all. I would be if i'll be using the computer at home because we never know. It it's in the news then it must be big.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conficker. This will help you prepare yourself for the virus. It also tells you what to do if you are infected with it

I am very concerned and have been informing everyone I know about it that has a computer, I too have been reading about it. I have updated my systems from Microsoft, and ran their safety scanner, as well as Spybot and AntiVir. All scans came back clean, no infections present.

yup, but since i dont have credit cards that i use in the internet, im not scared. plus i have good set of anti virus ( i have three simultaneously working) so why worry. they pretty much targeted sites that has to do with credit cards. besides those who made it will not put any attention to steal cheap accounts right?
