Hi All! (This info is from Mark Minasi's Newsletter)
A guy named Joe Stewart, a fellow who's part of a group of concerned souls
called the "Conficker Working Group" -- mostly big-name security
and Internet infrastructure folks -- realized that because one
of Conficker's side-effects is to block your access to certain
security sites (Conficker's creators didn't want you down-
loading anti-Conficker tools from those sites), he could build
a non-blockable way of testing for infection. How? It's a
great idea: he put together a Web page containing links to
several images from those blocked-if-you're-infected sites. To
see it, visit
http://www.confickerworkinggroup.org/infection_test/cfeyechart.html
And you can immediately a clue or two about where you stand,
Conficker-wise.
I noticed that the top middle picture was slow to load,
but eventually loaded. As this method becomes more popular, it may
become even slower!
