    I have a Mac and a PC. Does anyone know if Macs are vulnerable to this? I downloaded the software from Microsoft for the PC, but I wasn't able to find anything for the Mac. Anyone know better? (And no, this doesn't belong in Technology Toys).

    Conficker affects Windows-based systems only.

    There was a cool thing on Norton Aitivirus where they showed workers there working on beating up on Conficker. They were doing it on Macs!!!

    Hmm. Were they in a coffee shop while doing this? Inbetween working on a screenplay?

    Just in case we tried to make sure all 5,000 of our computers at work were patched. I'm sure we didn't get to all of them but so far nothing bad has happened.

    I was wrong!

    The death and mayhem from this horrible worm are mind-boggling! Sorry, everyone!


    Oh the huge manatee!
