conflicker: Internet version 3
http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2009/03/27/conficker.html
by internet version 3, I jokingly ask if it is the end of the internet on april 12t, or a joke

BTW i think that if you have it on yourt machine, ending the process "RUNDLL32.exe" is its update process, and that  messes with it, which is what i do.  it does not try to update after bit, so that is good

I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

Nope. RunDLL32 is one of Windows' core processes, killing it won't help much. (Even if it is infected, Windows will probably just try to restart it)

Re: conflicker: Internet version 3
That's a funny piece of advice considering that there may be many instances of RunDLL32 due to the fact that its a core system process.

If you have a really well engineered worm, you have to run software to remove it, no questions asked.

Re: conflicker: Internet version 3
That article totally contradicts itself:

"CBC's technology analyst Jesse Hirsh said no one really knows what's going to happen on April 1, if anything at all. Conficker could be the equivalent of a "digital Pearl Harbor," he said. Or, it could be the world's biggest April Fool's joke, as postulated in the New York Times."

...

"Microsoft has a tool that people can download that both identifies and removes Conficker, said Hirsh."
