Most of you have heard about the Conflicker C virus that is expected to be released on April Fools Day. This gets me to wonder is this a deadly virus that will actually destroy our computers or is this an April Fools Day joke? The problem is
that we do not really know and therefore are we prepared to take the chance that Conflicker C is just a joke?

What is Conflicker C?

Conflicker C is a worm (Trojan) that first surfaced in October 2008. It is also known as Kido, downup and downadup. Conflicker C specifically targets the Microsoft operating system. Conflicker C looks for vulnerability in the window server for Windows, 2000, Windows 2003, Windows Server 2003, Windows 7, Windows XP, Windows Server 2008 Beta, Windows Server 2008 R2 Beta, and Windows Vista. The worm is set to go off on April Fools Day and it is believed to be powerful force. It also protects itself by blocking your access to anti virus protection websites.

What will Conflicker C do to a computer?

The worm will find the vulnerability in these systems and spreads through the infected computer by carrying out an embedded code that will pass through one computer to another (RPC request). The group of infected computers is called a botnet, and once the creators of Conflicker C have the botnet in place, Conflicker C will cause havac to all of them.

The Conflicker C worm will then disable or shutdown different Microsoft operations such as Windows Automatic Update, Windows Security Center, Windows defender and Windows Error Reporting. Conflicker C can also attach itself to sychost.exe, explorer.exe and services exe. Conflicker C will connect to a server and can upload information from your computer and install various malware files.

It will launch attacks on various websites and send out though unsolicited emails we all have received at one time or another.

It will reverse computer reset points
Prevent restart in save mode
Allow access for worms through shareware
Slow your system down
Disable various functions on your computer
Disallow access to security and antivirus websites

Word.

Microsoft said that the virus has already been installed on many computers and it activates tomorrow causing total detestation and also to check to see if it is already on you computer go to You must login or register to view this content. and if it doesn't load or come up then most likely you have it on your computer because this virus blocks those kind of anti-virus sites. See if windows update works and if it does Microsoft has released the latest patches for this and they have tools to remove the virus also, so just check on their website.
