For those of you with friends that are not savvy enough to self diagnose their own PC, and could possibly be infected with the Conficker worm, I have a place you can send them. It doesn’t get any easier than this.
 
Where's the MICROSOFT symbol? Are they trying to associate Conflicker with Linux/FreeBSD which it has nothing to do with?

Rather than just make fun of you (like others here), I will try to help you understand what the chart means. The eye chart shows you what you would see if you have or do not have the conficker worm.
If your computer is clean, you will see all the graphics that are in the boxes (Like the very top set). If not, you will see what is shown in the other boxes to some degree or other. The worm blocks access to the applications represented by the pictures. Does that make sense?
 
As far as i can tell, these guys stole this concept from the german site that thought of this days ago.
 
gah, no edit button.

Ive also heard that this worm keeps your from going to most antivirus sites, so there is another check you could try.
 
That is what the eye check does.... determines if you are blocked from various anti-virus websites....
 
I thought the whole thing was an April Fool's joke that went too long. :rolleyes:
