Just pinging the folks over in UK, Australia and all points east of the US, have you seen anything pop off from the Conflicker Worm, to report?

I don't think any *cleaner* will run successfully against an infected system. I certainly wouldn't trust anything less than booting from the likes of ERD Commander and running from there without the malware being active. -- Peter van Houten On the 31/03/2009 23:08, Sam Cayze wrote the following: > Interesting...
