Don't bet on it.
Why not? This virus exploited a weakness that was fixed months earlier, so it's only user incompetence not installing windows updates that leads to such a vulnerability.

Obviously, since it works on an old xp weakness, of course Vista save him.
Um, I was being sarcastic. In other words, it was a joke.
Don't take things so seriously.

Ubuntu linux Ftw.

I wish I could care more about all the people out there who have Windows and therefore are probably going to get this bastard of a program, but I just can't. On second thought, no, I DON'T want to care more, because this might actually convince some people to start using Operating systems that aren't from Microsoft. The only advantage of the world's obsession with Windows is that it leaves all other less popular systems relatively disease free, but because of the aforementioned obscurity the only way you're going to play video games without a console is either on a Windows PC, or with Flash games.

It's the main reason I've switched over to console gaming. And in what you can either call hilarious irony or pathetic hypocrisy (take your pick), I've got a 360. It's the most reliable machine I've ever gotten from Microsoft and while the tech support is a steaming pile of spunk coated shit, the system is reliable enough that you shouldn't normally have to call in. But if you do need tech support, god help you...

Dang, why did I wait until today to order Ubuntu?
Order Ubuntu? You requested the free cd?
Cause you could've downloaded it, unless your connection is terrible.
On an EXTREMELY lucky day, about 15 kb/s. It took me 5 hours to download the "New X-Box Experience", to download Fallout 1 on a PC, took me 2 hours.
Takes me an average of 45 minutes to load one video here. Unskippable, Zero Punctuation, and Unforgotten Realms alike. I can only load one at a time, or they refuse to load at all. Same for YouTube.

Heck, it took a minute to load this page, and the Pony background still hasn't shown up.

It's not just going to pop up without being provoked to do so... So just don't go clicking random links (i.e. random ones posted on this site...) and if all else fails, just spam your anti-virus software to do a virus search like I do... Wait, can that detect a worm? o_o
It can detect computer worms but it can not detect giant worms sinking cities.
Confiker might fool it. It's designed to. As I said, it's even baffling the experts.
I know. I mostly made that post for the sake of making a lame Gears joke.

God I suck.

I think I have to be your best friend now just because you made a Gears of War 2 reference in such a serious thread. Just... Thank you.

Ah, I understand. Have fun with all the Ubuntu updates.
Took me a few days and my connection is pretty fast.
But other than that you'll love Ubuntu and wonder why more companies don't develop games for Linux. It's a great OS.

Linux, I'm feeling even more smug cause I have control over my OS :)
Pretty sweet being able to terminate any connection with your computer with a simple console command, eh?

Even if it does hit people can do a system restore. Or can reload everything.

Lol. I'm sorry, Nova Tendril. It was aimed at MiniMike. Yours did make me laugh, though. For that, you win 100 internets.

Virus works over flashdrives as well, good luck having firefox on that one. But I haven't been infected, I'm a PC user using XP. SO.....

This whole "OMG THE INTERNET ENDS ON APRIL 1ST" hype that the media has built up is ridiculous. April 1st is the date that the Conficker worm phones home to a master computer, meaning that it can be sent commands. That doesn't mean that the creators have to use it today. I'm sure they will at some point, but everyone pointing at April 1st like it's the new Y2K is just stupid hysteria.

Ah yes, but with Linux and firefox it can't break through. Besides if it does I just do a system restore. No big deal.

No, more likely anyone with an IQ above 40 is smug because they aren't dull enough to get their computers infected. Or buy a Mac.

Yes. Firefox > Internet Explorer

I think it'll have an easy time with Internet Explorer users because...it..just plain sucks.
