New virus/worm: Conficker  

3/31/2009

As I'm sure most of you have heard, there is a new virus/worm that is set to kickoff tomorrow, April 1st. This is not an April Fool's Joke and the anti-virus companies and Microsoft are taking this threat very seriously.

If you receive normal maintenance from SJK, your server and machines should already be protected from this worm.

Please make sure that you change your backup tapes, external hard drives, etc. (whatever method we are using for your back) so that we can be certain that you have a good backup in the case that we need to restore from it.

WE WILL CLEAN YOUR SYSTEM FOR YOU

If for any reason you feel your system has been infected, or you don't want to do it yourself, please contact SJK immediately so that we can resolve the problem before it spreads.

If you wish to tackle the infection on your own, here is some help and some useful tools

Here's an article from McAfee Anti-virus web site that will give you more information.
