****Note - As at April 2009!!! If someone passes this on to you in at some
much later date, it's probably obsolete and you should delete this email
right now*****  

Conficker is a piece of mailcious software that has infected a lot of
computers. 

Here's a very simple test to check whether your computer is infected .
Just go to

http://www.lexacorp.com.pg and click on the link at the bottom left

The way it works is simple. If you can see all 6 images at the top of the
test page, you are probably not infected with the worm.  

If it looks like your machine is infected, disconnect it from the Internet
immediately. Go to another system that's not infected, and get Microsoft's
Malicious Software Removal Tool.  

 http://www.microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/

Run that on the infected system, and be sure the infection is removed before
you reconnect to the Net.  

I hate chain emails and I never thought I'd ever say this but - feel free to
pass this one on to other people.  


Cheers,
Stuart McLachlan
