Keep in mind that its not a “virus” thats coming out today. It’s just all the infected computers that has it already is about to get new instructions! Which could be harmful or just still personal infromation like your SSN or bank information ONLY if you put it on there. NO the worm just dont download itself onto your machine you got to be already infected with it.
Also keep in mind if you was infected you will know from non stop pop ups and error messages and unable to access alot of programs on your computer such as the control panel etc. Other ways to check if you really have it is try going to microsoft.com if you can view the page then your safe. Because this worm blocks out major sites like that to prevent you from removing it.
Here are some steps you can take to avoid it if your not infected!
1. DO NOT click on pop up ads. Always remember to click the X dont attempt to click on it if it freezes and wont go away just remain calm and continue to hit X and when you do so normally end program comes on and you click it. Now it may close out all your windows but just start them back up.
2. DO NOT accept files from ANYONE no matter if they family or friends keep in mind thousands of computers are infected already and your friends or family may of got it and they pretending to be like them and sending it to you.
3. DO NOT visit strange websites stick to your daily routine. Also remove limewire and such file sharing programs.
4. DO NOT download anything you dont know nothing about.
5. DO NOT accept a e-mail called hallmark postcard it claims someone sent you a ecard but soons you open it COULD damage your computer so be smart and dont take the risk just simply delete the e-mail without clicking the link.
6. Be careful of youtube and game websites.
