What Malware Can Do

I just read an IMHO great article about the Conficker worm. Yes, I know, Conficker is a story from November/December 2008 but this article in The Atlantic magazine is not only factually correct, it is great reading.

You may not want to read through the many, many partially good and partially quite silly comments so here is the link to a website that gives you a simple optical indication if your computer is infected with Conficker or not. Note: This may not work on computers in certain types of mostly corporate networks.

Should your computer be infected, you know who to call, don’t you?

As usual I welcome comments and suggestions right here in the blog. Thank you in advance.
