April 1st 2009
It is widely thought that the pain-in-the-arse Conficker worm will start doing it's stuff on April 1st. No one really knows what that stuff may be - anything from data theft to recruiting machines to a zombie farm. It may even be just a scam for publicity (though I doubt it).
Every machine that is infected represents a threat to eveyone else connected to the internet. Please make sure you run Windows Update this week.
I'm Mister2, formerly from the (currently defunct) Castlecops computer security help site but now happily working with SpywareHammer, where we offer free help and advice on any computer problem from simple questions to full-blown malware infestation. We have a team of highly skilled experts devoted to malware removal and a also training academy should you decide you want to help in the fight against computer malware.
I have achieved the Microsoft MVP award (Consumer Security) for 2007 & 2008, a most welcome sign of recognition for doing what I enjoy most - helping people with computer problems.
By day I am the Works Manager at a local engineering company in the UK. By night I am Mister2. Drop by at SpywareHammer and see what we do.
Oh, and the blog? It will be a mixture of news, views, tips - whatever I feel the need to post. It may be rambling, it may be incisive. I hope it will be interesting.
Welcome, and on with the show ...
