Virus Conficker sẽ tấn công computers vào ngày mai thứ Tư 1 April.
Không ai biết hậu quả ra sao! Bạn chỉ có thể làm những điều sau đây:
1/ Chạy "Windows Update" để update computer, cũng như update "antivirus", nhưng nếu Conficker đã chực sẳn trong computer của bạn thì kể như chịu thua, kể cả antivirus của bạn cũng bị liệt luôn.
2/ Bạn có thể thử boot computer ở "safe mode", nếu không boot được thì có thể đã bị virus nầy chận rồi.
Bạn phải dùng dụng cụ đặc biệt để khử Conflicker thôi! Hảy vô Website của antivirus của bạn coi có chỉ dẩn gì để chống lại virus nầy không.
Những cách sau đây sẽ không hiệu nghiệm:
- Tắt máy tối nay 31/3 và mở lại vào ngày mốt 2/4, và
- Sữa lịch trong computer.
Bạn nào dùng Mac computer thì "an toàn xa lộ!"

How to use the removal tools
Home Users
1.Just download the removal tool (.zip file - 2.2MB), double click on it, chose "Extract all files..." from the File menu, and follow the wizard's instructions. You can use any other archiver, like WinZip. This will create a folder called bd_rem_tool.
2.Inside it, find the program called "bd_rem_tool_gui.exe" (or just "bd_rem_tool_gui") and double click on it. It is very important to extract all the files from the zip archive, and not only bd_rem_tool_gui.exe, because all the other files are needed for the disinfection. Then follow the tool's instructions.
3.If you have Windows Vista with User Acccess Control enabled, or if you are running as a restricted user in Windows XP, right click the "bd_rem_tool_gui" program and choose "Run as Administrator". You will be prompted to enter credentials for an admin account.
4.We recommend a system reboot after the disinfection is complete, to restore full internet access.
5.If you don't already have permanent antivirus protection or if your current antivirus has failed you, consider using the advanced protection tool provided by BitDefender.

Last-minute Conficker survival guide
Tue Mar 31, 2009 1:42PM EDT
Tomorrow -- April 1 -- is D-Day for Conficker, as whatever nasty payload it's packing is currently set to activate. What happens come midnight is a mystery: Will it turn the millions of infected computers into spam-sending zombie robots? Or will it start capturing everything you type -- passwords, credit card numbers, etc. -- and send that information back to its masters?
No one knows, but we'll probably find out soon.
Or not. As Slate notes, Conficker is scheduled to go "live" on April 1, but whoever's controlling it could choose not to wreak havoc but instead do absolutely nothing, waiting for a time when there's less heat. They can do this because the way Conficker is designed is extremely clever: Rather than containing a list of specific, static instructions, Conficker reaches out to the web to receive updated marching orders via a huge list of websites it creates. Conficker.C -- the latest bad boy -- will start checking 50,000 different semi-randomly-generated sites a day looking for instructions, so there's no way to shut down all of them. If just one of those sites goes live with legitimate instructions, Conficker keeps on trucking.
Conficker's a nasty little worm that takes serious efforts to bypass your security defenses, but you aren't without some tools in your arsenal to protect yourself.
Your first step should be the tools you already have: Windows Update, to make sure your computer is fully patched, and your current antivirus software, to make sure anything that slips through the cracks is caught.
But if Conficker's already on your machine, it may bypass certain subsystems and updating Windows and your antivirus at this point may not work. If you are worried about anything being amiss -- try booting into Safe Mode, which Conficker prevents, to check -- you should run a specialized tool to get rid of Conficker.
Microsoft offers a web-based scanner (note that some users have reported it crashed their machines; I had no trouble with it), so you might try one of these downloadable options instead: Symantec's Conficker (aka Downadup) tool, Trend Micro's Cleanup Engine, or Malwarebytes. Conficker may prevent your machine from accessing any of these websites, so you may have to download these tools from a known non-infected computer if you need them. Follow the instructions given on each site to run them successfully. (Also note: None of these tools should harm your computer if you don't have Conficker.)
As a final safety note, all users -- whether they're worried about an infection or know for sure they're clean -- are also wise to make a full data backup today.
What won't work? Turning your PC off tonight and back on on April 2 will not protect you from the worm (sorry to the dozens of people who wrote me asking if this would do the trick). Changing the date on your PC will likely have no helpful effect, either. And yes, Macs are immune this time out.
