Malware can mutate within minutes. If you’re infected, clean it fast and clean it completely.

First and foremost have a solid and reliable detection and removal program installed on your system. I use and recommend PC Matic everyday. It’s my first line of defense.

To be honest, that’s good news for those of us who never used these tools.

But for those who did, it means an extra step or three.

Making it’s first appearance in late October of 2008, the Conficker worm is due to morph from its current developmental stage and sprout wings on April Fools Day 2009. Is it a big deal? Big enough for Microsoft to put a bounty on the head of this
outlaw and it’s creator, to the tune of $250,000.00.
