Clarity on the Conficker C frenzy!

Viruses, worms, Trojans and every form of malware surrounds every one of us on the Internet, every day.

Once in a while, a particular set of circumstances will come together to create lots of concern over a specific piece of malware: enter Conficker C!

What makes Conficker C such a media star is that it is very aggressive towards all of our security programs and it has a trigger date of April 1st.

Plenty of people (& security vendors) are treating Conficker C as if it were something dramatically different...it's not.

This week, we try to be the voice of reason on this impending event by providing you solid advice on how to check your machine, what to do if you are infected & how you get it in the first place!

Join us every Weekend as we discuss your computer questions. It's the Tech Show for Non-Tech People! You can post questions on Facebook .
