Are we fucked? Should I clear out my cookies?

yeah, this is gonna be like elf bowling times Y2K

Macs, generally, are more vulnerable than most PCs these days fyi.

I doubt that.

Most programmers behind worms, trojans and other malicious scripts feel that they can exploit users and view it as being punitive against those that the creators generally dislike. With more people flaunting that their computer is virus proof because they have a Mac (view any malicious script related page on digg and look for the "I'm fine because I have a Mac" guy, he's always there in many different shells) they've been target to more viruses lately.

OSX isn't virus proof by any stretch.

This thread is about Conficker C.

Just be wary if you've run any VMWare to emulate anything windows

The world is going to end 2012 regardless of your operating system.

TRUE FACT

haha, he's USUALLY the 2nd guy to comment!

anyway, I ran my virus/trojan/worm/etc scans. I hope I'm okay.

Then Linux guy shows up to tell us he's running his superior OS, Ubuntu, which only took him 6 hours to customize perfectly to make it operate just like a Mac or Windows OS.

hahahaha, so true vulvie.

I can't even read the artical! Everytime I click the link my computer says "operation aborted" and makes me click "close". But, from what I have been reading, nothing better happen to my computer. Or I will be punching someone in the face

Meh. Fuck it.

Just remember that I was the # 1 most repped person when the world ends. I heard that means there's a spot in Heaven reserved for me!

I survived!

am I okay?

You rang? Except for that ubuntu part and making it operate like those other OS's. Fuck that.

Nonetheless, I'm not worried cause I'm on "my superior os", I'm just not worried because of what OS I'm on.
