Alarming results are coming from the Conflicker Worm

Today I’ve been doing research because I surprised how many people have searched for the Conflicker Worm/Virus and I wanted to point just how bad this is getting.     I was looking on Twitter about this some more and here is what I found out:

Now I went there and he seemed to of added “)” to the URL so I took that out and here’s the URL to check this out.  I went there and saw all these IP(Internet Protocols) and it claims that it is over a MILLION.  I don’t know if it is true because I stopped the list of IP’s due to the size of list.

I also wanted to talk about the rate at which people are finding this site due to the conflicker virus/worm infecting their systems.     As you can see it is steadily increasing as more and more people are trying to find out how to get rid of this very pesky infestation.   See below for some good resources to get this annoyance.

Spying on Spyware.ISpynow!!

This is another Virus that is going around and thought I’d tell you about it:

Spyware.ISpyNow monitors files, network traffic, and keystrokes. This Spyware gives the person who installed it a Web-based interface with summaries of logged information on the host computer.

Now this one isn’t to hard to figure out what happened.  You have to manually install it on your system to get infected.  Symantec has a great way on uninstalling this annoyance.  I also suggest checking out my other program list just in case you don’t want to buy Symantec Anti-Virus programs.  Some other things to check out is:
