After weeks of warning about the Conficker worm, April 0ne came and went without any major problems. But where did the worm go?
Computer worm is now parading as an anti-virus program called Spyware Protect 2009. The worm takes users to a fake security Web site, asks them to pay $50.00 for a spyware program that actually is the Conficker worm, then keeps your credit card information, to boot. "It infects your computer," she told co-host Harry Smith. "And it keeps that $50.00"
She says it can pop up on your computer and advertise a way to prevent the worm. To be safe, she says not to click on anything you're not familiar with.
Del Conte stressed that now is the time to be extra-careful
