On March 25 I posted the then-current warning about the computer virus that experts expected to activate on April Fools Day. It appears the Conficker-C virus did not do massive damage on April 1, 2009, as some experts anticipated. In a sense, that is a relief. Computers are working today, which keeps businesses operating. spy The trend is to use computer viruses to make money.attack destroy files connect to internet addresses forward emails steal identities log sensitive corporate information steal credit card numbers and online banking passwords log every key stroke If you are concerned that your computer may be infected, you can purchase software. It may be very expensive. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has been trying to find the originators of the virus. Some experts think the authors might gradually change the way the virus performs, as it has had much publicity lately. Today computer experts are saying, Do not panic. It is not necessary to stay off your computer. This virus is powerful. It could be activated at any time. An assistant director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation advises the public to have strong security on their computers. The major security companies (MacAfee, Symantec, etc.) are monitoring the virus mutations and making constant security adaptations and updates.
