Computer Virus Spreading
Computer Worm Goes Out Of Control
4:36pm UK, Monday January 19, 2009
A computer virus attacking Microsoft Windows has infected almost nine million machines and is spreading faster than ever before.

Windows users are being urged to step up security to beat the worm
Experts say the worm has "skyrocketed" in recent days.
It is sweeping through thousands of offices in the UK and has affected computers at the Ministry of Defence.
The virus - known variously as Conficker, Kido or Downadup - burrows deep into the operating system and tricks the machine into running the infected program.
Once the worm is running on the computer it automatically starts to download more malicious programs from hackers' websites, with devastating effects.

The majority of computers infected by the worm, which was first identified in October, are in Russia, China, Brazil and India. But the virus is now taking hold in the UK.
The worm has password cracking capabilities, often successful because company passwords sometimes match a predefined password list that it carries.
Eddy Willems, a security analyst with anti-virus firm Kaspersky Labs, said that a new strain of the worm was now causing additional problems.

Sounds like it's mostly a problem for businesses and shit.

Companies who use the old...

User = Password
Password = User

...which has always been an ingeniously flawless system.

Ok, with all those daily updates, it's time for McAfee to show this measly computer crippling virus what it can do.
