From Conficker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Conficker, also known as Downup, Downadup and Kido, is a computer worm that surfaced in October 2008 and targets the Microsoft Windows operating system.[1] The worm exploits a previously patched vulnerability in the Windows Server service used by Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7 Beta, and Windows Server 2008 R2 Beta.[2] The worm has been unusually difficult for network operators and law enforcement to counter because of its combined use of advanced malware techniques.

Conflicker is Windows-only. Although it may be a major issue for Windows users, we Blackberry folks have nothing to worry about. To us, Conflicker is mostly* harmless. Feel free to ignore it completely.






* The only fear for us is for the pc we use to sync and backup our Blackberrys.
