It turned out very well.  I was too busy worrying about the conficker virus that had infected my PC and couldn’t REALLY enjoy what I cooked although I DID eat all of it in one sitting due to over worrying.

San Marino Corned Tuna Fishcakes

The war with conficker!

Wizernet has the nastiest computer viruses!

My camera got infected with the conficker virus and when i plugged it into my computer, all hell broke lose.

I am the last person you’d suspect to get infected with a virus because I do live updates and have THREE antivirus software/barriers running at all times,  A Symantec antivirus, Windows defender and Microsoft Security Essentials.

Once conficker entered my laptop, Windows defender stopped working (conficker stops it from working).  Windows defender was the front line defense and it fell almost immediately.

Symantec antivirus, the core of my antivirus defense was able to quarantine the virus but it kept REPLICATING inside the Symantec quarantine folder.  Symantec antivirus was deleting it as fast as it replicated itself..

Conficker, a Tough little bastard!

Microsoft security essentials was the “new kid in town” or the mercenary of the antivirus defenses that I had.  I had just installed it three days ago.

As Symantec fought to contain the virus, Microsoft security essentials swept through my entire PC, cleaning up lone remnants of Conficker that Symantec had failed to contain.

It was a 6 hour battle.  I was horrified to see conficker replicating everywhere.
Finally Microsoft security essentials detected a lone rogue virii hanging out in my C: drive and deleted the fucker.

Although Symantec kept telling me that conficker was still happily replicating in the quarantine folder. I knew that lone virus hanging outside in C:\ was the source of all the trouble.  The virus was techically dead.. its replicants would just vanish after a reboot.

I rebooted the PC and bam, windows defender was able to start up.. (a sign of a conficker-free PC.).  I ran windows defender and it gave me a clean bill of health.  Just to be safe, I ran microsoft security essentials and Symantec antivirus once more ALONG with 2 conficker specific removal tools that I downloaded from the net.

NOTHING came up in the scans.

Conficker was dead.
