Conficker


I don't know if concern about the Conficker computer virus has abated since April 1, when it was supposed to bring the PC world to an end. I've been concerned about it, and shouldn't be, because we're an all-Mac shop here.

But if you use a stand-alone PC, and want to see if your computer has been infected, it's easy to find out. Just go here for the Conficker Eye Chart. At the top of the page are six icons, in two rows of three. If you can see all six icons, your computer is clean.

A tip of the hat to Andrew Tobias.

Thank you. That was interesting. My computer is either clean or using a proxy, whatever that means.
