Conflictor C worm
Anyone else worried about this worm? I've always been worried about my Windows machine, even though I always update it and have AVG, Adware-SE, NOD32, and HijackThis! installed on my Windows machine, as well as backing up all the important data I have. Too, I always check my emails and never open anything that even looks remotely suspicous, as well as never going to pornsites and the such which would compromise my securtity, even though I have Noscript and other (yea, noscript isn't an anti-popup it deals w/ scripts but I digress, and you already knew that :)!) anti-popup addons installed on Firefox.
Anyways, I just want to know if anyone else is doing something to protect himself against this, or are you just thinking "man, this guy is paranoid" haha. I might be, but that's why I'm asking about it :D
If you are doing something to protect yourself, please indulge me w/ your insight (if you don't mind) .

Aye, you need Windows for some stuff (e.g. .NET framework, etc.); though, I prefer using Ubuntu Linux which I have installed on my main machine, and freeBSD (love freeBSD, but turned to Ubuntu because of its HUGE community support and large development operation.)
Anyways…Conflictor C, the misspelling was chosen, because that's primarily the way I've seen it spelled from Google search results.
No, I'm not going to through my router in the lake…wtf why would I even do that? Why? Why?

Anyways…Conflictor C, the misspelling was chosen, **because I haven't ever seen someone spell it this way. A simple Google Search proves this. ** No, I'm not going to understand humor…wtf why would I even do that? Why? Why?

As spy once said (not quoting though) Ubuntu != Linux:D If you decide to use linux, get some real distro…

why the fuck do you think No internet–>less chance of infection, and if infected, unless the worm is in fact logical bomb, it's harmless. Oh and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joke you may want to have a read
Anyone like dead baby jokes?

You have something commonly known as "morals." At least, that's what I think they're called. I still have yet to figure out what that word means though.
All kidding aside, I am actually a pretty decent person. I will not laugh at inappropriate things if it will make someone upset. I do have the tendency to laugh at almost anything. For example, I will not laugh at a joke made by a jew about asian people. Those just aren't funny jokes.
What's worse than ten dead babies? They're all in a trash can.
What's worse than ten babies in a trash can? There's a living one at the bottom.
What's worse than a living baby at the bottom of a trash can with ten dead babies? He's eating his way to the top.
What's worse than a living baby eating ten dead babies to get to the top of a trash can? He just gave you the conficker virus.
Hey hey, I managed to stay on topic.
