The Conficker C Virus just came out a couple of days ago. I haven't heard anybody having any problems with it yet, but that could change.
Here are some of the problems you may be having if you are infected with it.
• Deactivates Windows Security Center notifications
• Prevents restart in Safe Mode
• Prevents Windows Defender from running at system startup
• Deletes all system restore points
• Disables various error-reporting and security services
• Terminates over twenty security-related processes
• Blocks DNS queries
• Blocks access to security and antivirus websites
• And, to top it all off, Conficker C can choose from a list of 500 domains to contact out of a pool of 50,000
If you are experiencing any of those problems, give me a call. 580-243-9545
I've heard from multiple sources that the Conficker worm wouldn't be a threat to Mac users, thank goodness
