Conficker C Update 4/4/2009

by Shel Funk, It Is My Opinion

I have just read what I believe to be the most comprehensive report available on the Conficker Worm. It was published by Carol Roach. Carol holds a masters in counselling psychology and  is the author of “Picking Up The Pieces: A Woman’s Journey” and the novel “Angels Watching Over Me”. Her detailed commentary and opinion on the Conficker C Worm appeared in the Canadian epublication, Associated Content.

Carol says that the  Conficker C viru

“has already infected a million computers and can reach up to the estimate of 9 to 15 million computers before it runs its course. The experts say it is the worst virus since SQL Slammer.”

and goes on to say,

“Thirty percent of computers do not have the windows patch that was released in 2006 that prevent the infiltration of this worm virus.”

Suffice it to say, the Conficker C virus is reeking havoc … and the full extent of what the virus can do or might do or will do has not yet been experienced.
