Information Madness

This 1st April will be remembered around the world not for the April fool's joke but for the much hyped Conficker Worm.

Even though it may seem that the virus has been maintaining a low profile for the past few days, security experts warn that the virus is still a threat. In reality, it has already attacked thousands of personal computers in India and nearly 15 million computers
globally till date. 

 

So here is a quick check to make sure whether your computer is affected by Conficker Worm or not. 

Joe Stewart, director of malware research at SecureWorks, came up with a Conficker Eye Chart, which is a simple visual test you can use to evaluate a PC just by surfing to that page and looking at the images. Below the images, there is also a guide on how to interpret the results. It couldn't be simpler!

Go to the website joestewart.org and check out the images displayed in the tabular format.
