For PCs which are in daily use, and have a branded and daily/weekly updated anti-virus capability (i.e. not a free one off the web), then these things should pass without incident. It's the folks who only rarely update their virus definitions and seldom use their PC which are the most at risk from these things. | ||

Conficker Worm is on the go again, you may have read about it as it was due to come back as a new form on 1st April.
It started before this infecting computers, but it may lie dormant for a few months before changing and causing devastation on your computer. There are con sites offering to remove the worm, but they infect your computer further with their own virus and worms. For more read: PC Pitstops report |
