I heard the worm but what can this worm do to your computerAlso can the security like window defender protect this worm

Hi dtran,Conficker is getting more publicity today as people are thinking it will expose a greater payload with it being April 1. Basic information on the virus can be found:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confickerhowever proper security would still be- keeping your system patched & up-to-date with the latest hotfixes- having your firewall enabled- ensuring you have anti-virus and it's up-to-date with the latest defs- being careful while on the "internet"Nothing will protect against everything, however by adhering to the rules above you're safer than going out on a polar expedition in just a pair of shorts :-)HTH,Justin
