BAD HARDWARE WEEK

I have Win98, and look Ma, no Conflicker worm. I have Win 7 beta, and look Ma, no Conflicker worm.
I have one unpatched XP and Conflicker worm inside. I have no Vista machine and no Conflicker. :)

Now, did Microsoft intentionally allow Conflicker attack, now able to kill some 350M PCs worldwide? Not properly patching XP, it is quite possible. But why, Why ? The answer is quite simple. To move scared XP people towards by default patched Windows 7. However, what we will do when Conflicker's grandson arrive that kills Windows 7? Well, stop talking you terrorist.
It is not important to be secure, but to buy the next Windows version in huge quantities . Hollow too, etc. etc.

But what we can do about it just now?
If you are not able to update or install your security software, than you might be easily under Conflicker control.
Don't try anything else, except the advice from this article.
If removal is successful install free Spybot search and destroy , with its the latest update immediately. That will destroy all known spywares Conflicker installed in the meantime.
Very useful article is this one too.
