OpenDNS To Block and Monitor Conficker Worm

Linker3000 writes "According to The Register, OpenDNS plans to introduce an new service that will prevent PCs infected with the Conficker (aka Downadup) malware from contacting its control servers, and will also make it easy for admins to know if even a single machine under their control has been infected by Conficker: 'Starting Monday, any networks with PCs that try to connect to the Conficker addresses will be flagged on an admin's private statistics page. The service is available for free to both businesses and home users.' With the amount of trouble this worm has caused, perhaps this is a good time to take a look at OpenDNS if you haven't done so already."

You moron. You might think you're being "funny" or "clever", but you've just managed "offensive" and "ignorant".

You're also "offtopic". It's 2009 try and keep up.

I was going to post this anonymously, but actually I want to stand up and be counted, to hell with my karma.

All you've really done is shown that you're a noob, slashdot gets these troll post in every story.

Did you buy your account off ebay?

Really? Because I don't recall *ever* seeing these particular brands of posts until after President Obama was elected and sworn in.

If you don't think it's funny, you're not smart enough. Complaining about it doesn't make you smarter, it reveals that you're a complete moron ;)
