The Conficker worm spreads itself primarily through a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Server Service on Windows computers. The worm uses a specially crafted RPC request to execute code on the target computer.[4]When executed on a computer, Conficker disables a number of system services such as Windows Automatic Update, Windows Security Center, Windows Defender and Windows Error Reporting. It then connects to a server, where it receives further orders to propagate, gathers personal information, and downloads and installs additional malware onto the victim's computer.[5] The worm also attaches itself to certain Windows processes such as svchost.exe, explorer.exe and services.exe.[6]

Hope they brutally kill whoever wrote this virus. Brutally, horribly, cave in his skull with a baseball bat and laugh while he chokes on his own blood with his last dying breath. Maybe fire, burn him alive and post a YouTube video of it. Get five-hundred pounds of deadly flesh-eating spiders and dump them on virus writers, set their screams to music. |

I just realised what this is all about - Microsoft is willing to pay $250,000 to find someone who can program something that actually WORKS! |

There is always that "if convicted" clause attached. makes it hard to collect and time consuming. |

Jihad, from what I hear, the f*cking with people reason is the most common one by a large majority. |

"Microsoft has previously paid out similar rewards to informants who helped identify the creator of Sasser, another notorious worm let loose in 2004. The perpetrator was tracked to Germany, where he was sentenced a year later"taken from CNN's account of this story found here:

Wasn't there an industry wide bounty for the kid that made the Sasser virus? |

deathxtra: viruses are created by people who are really good at (obscure/difficult) programming languages. People make viruses for generally one or two reasons: to gain access to a person's private infromation stored on their comp (credit card numbers, passwords, or any other information you have ever entered or accessed with your PC), OR to just f/uck with people (usually malicious intent like ruining your computer or making the use of your computer miserable). |

"Hmmm, you have a choice of reward... $250,000 *OR* a BUG-FREE version of Windows... nah I'm only kidding, there's as much chance of the latter as there is of MS ever paying the former."Nothing that connects to the internet will ever be bugproof. Ever. |

No one else was afraid to click the link? Hehe, it'd be ironic if they got Microsoft's site too. |
