I hate worms. They get into everything portable (USB devices) and now this new Conficker worm spreads from computer to computer via RPC calls on machines that are not patched with MSO8-067. Conficker A, B and C currently download rogue anti-malware applications and keyloggers.
Obviously the best way to protect yourself (and family) against machine to machine propagation would be to download and install MSO8-067.

Hello evrybody sorry if this is a little off topic but I needed help.
Right now im using MalwareBytes and AVG 8.5 Free but I´ve been thinking in changing to ComodoIS 3.9 since I had 2 pieces of Malware and Virus and passed through AVG. Had to Delete them with MalwareBytes.
But my question is I share a internet connection with my dad at home with a router and he connected with the wires (sorry it really isnt the right word) and im using wireless so… can I use comodo and still have the wireless connection or will Comodo block the connection?
and can I use comodo with MalwareBytes?
Those are my questions
Thanks
