Click the above link to scan your PC for the Internet worm and clean your PC if it’s infected. Leaving your computer off all day tomorrow will not protect your PC from being affected if the worm is already inside.
As you’ve already heard by now, a giant Internet worm is set to be unleashed upon your computers tomorrow (April 1) — and no, it isn’t an April Fool’s joke. Read more about the worm here.
The virus creators have gotten so smart that even the best anti-virus programs can’t detect their handiwork any more. Last week it took me two days to clean out my system from a virus infection — and I had the full suite of McAfee Anti-Virus tools running on my machine at the time.
After noticing my computer and Internet dragging, I ran 4 anti-virus tools before one of them finally detected 29 instances of the dreaded TDSSserv trojan in my registry. It then took me another two hours and two more programs to remove all traces of it from my PC.
I don’t know anything about this worm that’s supposed to be released on unsuspecting PC owners tomorrow. What I do know is I will no longer be surfing the Internet on my PC — only on my Mac which is immune to virus and trojans.
When Bill Gates makes Windows virus-free like Apple then I’ll go back to browsing the Internet on my PC.
