No, you don't want to have it. It's worm virus that has or is going to infect many computers.

I was able to see all of the pictures so I hope that this is an accurate test.

I saw this on one of the talk shows and immediately went and googled conficker eye chart. I saw all the stop pictures which means I'm safe. Thank God!! I'd be lost without my computer.

I mean after all, how would I argue with my big brother if I didn't have my computer?

That is very cool! Thanks so much for posting this. I had heard about the conficker virus but the last I read they didn't think it would infect personal computers, just businesses. I checked my work computer and I am fine here. Have to check my home computer when I get home. Why don't these hackers and virus creating people find something constructive to do?!? If they are this intelligent they should be putting it to good use.

I read that if you can't access the security that you have installed on your computer, then you are already infected. I ran a manual scan and I'm okay. It was also advised to not take advantage of any free scans to check for infection, since it could direct you to an infected site. Makes sense to me!

Script kiddies that have nothing better to do make up the majority of black hats (these types of people). But, Grey Hats actually do something constructive with their hacking/cracking, like exploiting a hole in a server only to patch it once they are in. See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_hat.

Anyways, I just had to lol at this, obviously one of the pictures on this page is busted (screenshot attached, with proof that I really couldnt catch this worm in the terminal window).
