Hey there - Please do not reply to this thread or create a similar one to discuss this.
I am posting it here as a service to users and do not want to devolve into computer safety and hacker discussions. If you have an interest in learning more about those topics, there are plenty of comprehensive resources available on the web. This is a simple test computer test which indicates the potential infection of your computer. I am posting it here as a resource to list members. Since many of us access the list via email, we can be prone to exploits via "known" email addresses, etc. Best of luck and safe computing! - Jim / RBW Group List Admin -- Jim Edgar cyclofi...@earthlink.net BEGIN --- Conficker, considered to be potentially one of the nastiest worms to hit the Internet in quite a while, has finally woken up. It's downloading updates, which security analysts suspect to be keyloggers or other code designed to steal information from infected machines. To see if your machine is infected, go to http://www.talkbiz.com/confickertest/ It's an extremely simple test. Load the page and see if you get all 6 pictures. If you do, you're unlikely to be infected. The explanation is VERY short, and included on the page. Feel free to pass that URL around to anyone you like. The more people know if their systems are infected, the better. If you find that you're are likely to have the worm on your machine, immediately disconnect from the Internet. Find a machine that isn't infected, and get a copy of Microsoft's Malicious Software Removal Tool. http://www.microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/ Do not reconnect to the Internet until you've run that on the infected machine. ----- END --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
