  11. Here's the blurb from Symantec. Links in the blurb will not work, you'll have to go to the site (if you can). Good post Darren, thanks for reminding everyone. I blame it all on the Russians. (See Rickr, it`s not the Americans that screw everything/one up.) http://www.symantec.com/norton/theme.jsp?t..._conficker_worm Worried about the Conficker worm striking on April 1st? A few simple steps can protect you. Target: All users of Windows XP and Windows Vista. If you’re worried about the Conficker worm striking on April 1st, don’t be. On April 1st the Conficker worm will simply start taking more steps to protect itself. Beginning on April 1st the worm will use a communications system that is more difficult for security researchers to interrupt. * What does the Conficker worm do? * Who is at risk? * What to do if you are infected? * FAQ * Norton Recommends The Conficker worm, sometimes called Downadup or Kido has managed to infect a large number of computers. Specifics are hard to come by, but some researchers estimate that millions of computers have been infected with this threat since January. Current users of Symantec’s Norton security products are protected. Users who lack protection are invited to download a trial version of Norton AntiVirus 2009,Norton Internet Security 2009 or Norton 360 Version 3.0. If you are unable to reach our web site, you may be infected. In that case you will need to get to a computer that is not infected, download our specialized Conficker removal tool and run it on the infected machine before installing new antivirus software. Symantec has a detailed technical analysis of the threat here. CBS correspondent Leslie Stahl met with Steve Trilling, Symantec’s VP of Security Technology and Response, to talk about the impact of Conficker worm. The video is currently unavailable. Click here to read the transcript. What does the Conficker worm do? The Conficker worm has created secure infrastructure for cybercrime. The worm allows its creators to remotely install software on infected machines. What will that software do? We don’t know. Most likely the worm will be used to create a botnet that will be rented out to criminals who want to send SPAM, steal IDs and direct users to online scams and phishing sites. The Conficker worm mostly spreads across networks. If it finds a vulnerable computer, it turns off the automatic backup service, deletes previous restore points, disables many security services, blocks access to a number of security web sites and opens infected machines to receive additional programs from the malware’s creator. The worm then tries to spread itself to other computers on the same network. How does the worm infect a computer? The Downadup worm tries to take advantage of a problem with Windows (a vulnerability) called MS08-067 to quietly install itself. Users who automatically receive updates from Microsoft are already protected from this. The worm also tries to spread by copying itself into shared folders on networks and by infecting USB devices such as memory sticks. Who is at risk? Users whose computers are not configured to receive patches and updates from Microsoft and who are not running an up to date antivirus product are most at risk. Users who do not have a genuine version of Windows from Microsoft are most at risk since pirated system usually cannot get Microsoft updates and patches. What to do if you are infected If you are reading this page, your computer is probably not infected with Conficker as the worm blocks access to most security web sites. If you have a computer that is infected, you will need to use an uninfected computer to download a specialized Conficker removal tool from. The tool is available here. Advice to Stay Safe from the Downadup Worm: 1. Run a good security suite (we are partial to Norton Internet Security 2009 and Norton 360 Version 3.0). 2. Keep your computer updated with the latest patches. If you don’t know how to do this, have someone help you set your system to update itself. 3. Don’t use “free” security scans that pop up on many web sites. All too often these are fake, using scare tactics to try to get you to purchase their “full” service. In many cases these are actually infecting you while they run. There is reason to believe that the creators of the Conficker worm are associated with some of these fake security products. 4. Turn off the “autorun” feature that will automatically run programs found on memory sticks and other USB devices. 5. Be smart with your passwords. This includes 1. Change your passwords periodically 2. Use complex passwords – no simple names or words, use special characters and numbers 3. Using a separate, longer password for each site that has sensitive personal information or access to your bank accounts or credit cards. 6. Use a passwords management system such as Identity Safe (included in Norton Internet Security 2009 and Norton 360 Version 3.0) to track your passwords and to fill out forms automatically. 7. Run Norton Internet Security 2009, Norton AntiVirus 2009 or Norton 360 Version 3.0. You can also try Norton Security Scan. FAQ Q: What should I do if my PC is infected? A: If you have a computer that is infected, you will need to use an uninfected computer to download a specialized Conficker removal tool from. The tool is available here. Q: Am I safe if I don’t go to questionable web sites? A: No. The Conficker worm seeks out computers on the same network. You can be in a coffee shop, an airport or in the office and the worm will quietly try to attach to your computer and run itself. Q: How do I know if I am infected? A: The best way to know if you are infected is to run a good antivirus product. One symptom that may indicate you are infected is finding that your computer is blocked from accessing the web sites of most security companies. Q: Can’t I just run free antivirus software? A: Yes, but free products often aren’t thorough or comprehensive. Worse, the internet is overflowing with fake free security scanners that actually infect your computer. Fake scanners such as “Antivirus 2008” are difficult to identify and have plagued hundreds of thousands of users around the world. Norton Recommends Run Norton Internet Security 2009, Norton AntiVirus 2009 or Norton 360 Version 3.0. All of these products will detect and remove the Downadup worm. You can also exchange ideas and developments on Downadup at the Norton Forums. Detailed blogs on Downadup and other malicious programs can be found on Symantec’s Malware Blog.
  12. That's the video of the guys in the US store. I 'm sure we'll see a Calgary video soon, won't we?
  13. How's the water by the way? Anyone go for a dip yet?
  14. Bill Dance on April 7th!!!!!!!!!! YEEEEEEEEEE HAWWWWWWWWWW!!!! Y'all don't miss him now!!!! Maybe he'll fall out of a chair for ya.

  16. Did you know you can take the first letter of each of the above sentences and created the following anagram: "Babble bit of twirp." Go figure. Anybody know of an ice free lake?
  17. Welcome to the site. Make yourself homely.
  18. I think the front of the Sun today does a good job in wrapping up the stupidity of what the Fox idiots had to say. http://edmontonsun.sunmedia.ca/epaper/viewer.aspx
  19. I'm sure there's nothing in that broadcast that Bill O'Reilly hasn't touched on once or twice in his fanatical career. Personally I couldn't give a rats ass what Fox is spewing out at 3:00 in the morning. The only respectable show they have ever aired is the Simpsons.
  20. Lassie I also see a really hot naked lady but that's probably just my imagination.
  21. Studies show that the extended warranty will/may be useful on some items. (Plasma TV's that blow up and yes laptops in some cases.) The real problem (in my opinion) with these warranties is when sale people try to sell you an extended warranty for an item that has virtually no chance of ever having a problem. This is where the stores make the big time money, not on the items that it may make sense to have an extended on. Now here's another take on the whole thing. I was recently moving around all the equipment on our entertainment centre when I accidently dropped my daughter's Nintendo Wii on the fireplace tile. Poof! Toasted! Next day I call Nintendo, tell them it's off warranty and ask what it will cost? The lady tells me it will be a flat rate of $75.00 including shipping, no questions asked, as long as it hasn't been modified. I would hazard a guess that $75 would have been about the price of an extended warranty. I wonder how many extended warranties were sold on Nintendo Wii's? There are companies out there that stand behind their products. You just have to do your research.
  22. Ever wonder how some insect shots are put together? Check out this guys setup. http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp...essage=31140536 http://www.pbase.com/fotoopa http://www.pbase.com/fotoopa/image/72060758
