DAMN!! Huge bounty on the bastards head too!

As is often the case, that date is April 1. Malware creators love to target April Fool's Day with their wares, and the latest worm, called Conficker C, could be one of the most damaging attacks we've seen in years. Conficker first bubbled up in late 2008 and began making headlines in January as known infections topped 9 million computers. Now in its third variant, Conficker C, the worm has grown incredibly complicated, powerful, and virulent... though no one is quite sure exactly what it will do when D-Day arrives. Thanks in part to a quarter-million-dollar bounty on the head of the writer of the worm, offered by Microsoft, security researchers are aggressively digging into the worm's code as they attempt to engineer a cure or find the writer before the deadline. What's known so far is that on April 1, all infected computers will come under the control of a master machine located somewhere across the web, at which point anything's possible. Will the zombie machines become denial of service attack pawns, steal personal information, wipe hard drives, or simply manifest more traditional malware pop-ups and extortion-like come-ons designed to sell you phony security software? No one knows. Conficker is clever in the way it hides its tracks because it uses an enormous number of URLs to communicate with HQ. The first version of Conficker used just 250 addresses each day -- which security researchers and ICANN simply bought and/or disabled -- but Conficker C will up the ante to 50,000 addresses a day when it goes active, a number which simply can't be tracked and disabled by hand. At this point, you should be extra vigilant about protecting your PC: Patch Windows completely through Windows Update and update your anti-malware software as well. Make sure your antivirus software is actually running too, as Conficker may have disabled it.

This place is going to hell!! Great pic Jarvis!

Hey there boy! You sure look purdy. Well, thank you sir! You're just TOOOOO cool huh? ;) He was a legend. Don't we all man....don't we all.

Tell him to check out Craigslist, Cycletrader, etc. I was going to say 250 at those prices though.

Damn that was at top speed too. <--to a speedy recovery

Post up your best slip this year slowbusa. I'm curious what that bad boy is running with you on it.

Oh I plan to this year atleast once. Last year my vacay days were planned. This year I can take a few randoms.

You think NinjaNick was better? Just curious:confused:

Yeah, MATT he was showing major cordage while him and I were out riding Saturday. I told him to take it easy, but he still hamfisted that sucker. Crazy dude!

Got'cha. It's towards him for asking that question.

The title is soooo harsh, and has nothing to do with the info inside it. What'chu talking about Willis?

Damn, that's cool right there.

mmmmmmmmmm riiiiiiiiiiiiibs.......mmmmmmmmmmmmm...

procrastination is a motherfucker. Never should've waited man. Back when I got mine I had my permit for only 2 weeks and got my license to get it over with.

You didn't smile enough as a kid and your father wanted you to smile more?

Also, I LOVED Fraggle Rock on HBO!

My wife is 22 and she got some war heads over xmas.

HAHA!! Oh shiiiiiiiiiiit. The tight roll of 1990.

I went... Atari, Commordore64, NES, Sega Genesis, Sega CD, got into the females next so there was a no gaming period of probably 6 years. Then after a while I bought the PS2 about 6 years later and haven't had another system since. Even though I do want a PS3.

You'd be surprise. I've had people ask if that's a 600 and etc. The public is STUPID 90% of the time I would say. I did have a sweet new GT500 Mustang mess with me the 1st weekend ride this year and it sounded HOT! 500+hp 500+ torque, but I left him in the dust and it felt good cuz I knew I pissed him off...lol. He wanted some and I delivered. I felt like saying that I only paid near 11grand.

God Bless our childhoods! I really miss mine.
