Probably the first time you've ever been able to say that.

why yes I......hey!

 

[DIRECTOR]

is the program suppose to close by itself????

 

[Gilpesh]

I jumped through all the hoops... that mean I'm safe?

And yes that thing said I had no infections... still, safe yet?

It means your not infected right now.

To be safe depends on your virus scanner, firewall, and how updated you keep your scanner and machine. If you always use automatic updates, then you're probably as safe as you can be. Most of the infections they're finding outside the US are on pirated and unpatched machines.


I could go on a rant of how, if Microsoft would allow updates to pirated copies, we might not have this problem (or large a problem), but I won't...

Yes it is.

Follow these steps if you want to run it in a window that will remain open after it finishes.

I'm assuming you've unzipped the file to your desktop:

1. From the Start menu, choose Run

2. Type Command and press OK. (This will open a command prompt)

3. (You should see something like C:\Documents and Settings\ComputerName) Type cd Desktop (This will change the directory to your desktop folder)

4. Type f-downadup.exe and press return (this is the program file name. It will now run in the window and display your results)

5. When finised, type exit to close the window

 

[DIRECTOR]

Yes it is.

thanks, so far clean, just waiting for the thing to finish

 

[Gilpesh]

Which is about the most bulls--t thing ever. "Oh, we don't know if you're safe... just that you not infected... for now."

Plus, I could boot in safe mode... and that's a sign of not having it. One minute to go.

 

[The Spawn]

Midnight.

 

[CELTICPRED]

Hold onto your butts...

 

[Gilpesh]

And we're still here?

What else can they do?


Sort of like going to a doctor.

"So, I'm healthy doc? No diseases?"

"No diseases...right now."

 

[The Spawn]

Hope the payload drops Easter Sunday instead.

 

[wiegeabo]

Hold onto your butts...

Well, everything seems to be fine so far.


*car explodes*

 

[Venom160]

*silence*

At least with the doctor... I can avoid sick people... with this thing it is like... you might have it... or not... but you probably do... LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU! You don't have it... or do you... heheh MWHUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Damn April Fools and people who know computers.

 

[Sam Fisher]

*silence*

everyone still alive?

Nope, turned into a bot.








But you win $50,000!

 

[The Spawn]

The no certain time zone thing is what really jumped the shark on this one for me.

 

[Dark Helmet]

So far so good here & it is 12:30

 

[LastSunrise1981]

I had a little bit of a scare when I just turned on my computer. But so far, everything is working the way it should be and my laptop is in the middle of its scheduled automatic updates.

 

[Daredevil_2003]

Well, it's 530 in the AM and my computer was on all night and didn't explode...big surprise.

 

[Sam Fisher]

Nothing wrong here.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Well I don't even know what to look for lol

 

[Shemtov]

So it was all an april fools prank......
or is it?
From what i understand about Conficker it could give the "masters" every move you make online.......giving them credit card info (if you buy online) and you wouldn't even know it.......
