Years-Old Conficker Worm Still a Threat

RedEaredSlider writes "The Conficker worm is still a threat, even though it is more than two years old and nobody has used it in a botnet attack yet. The problem is that so many machines are infected (largely because many don't realize it) and it's such a flexible piece of malware."

Re:how novel - dog worm analogy

[jobst]

One of my doggies was running around like crazy on XMAS day, rubbing her bum along the floor ... licking her bum like mad ... so I checked it out ... pulled up her tail and there it was 5cm of worm sticking out ... ran to the toilet, picked up a toilet and 20s of pulling later I had a 35cm worm lying on the floor boards ... Moral of the story: Dogs need virus/worm protection too and the next day there were two tablets going down her throat.
