Currently the virus is dormant in these computers, but they are like the Imperial Storm Troopers from Star Wars, a drone army awaiting instruction to unleash havoc. Instead of bringing down the Republic Conficker will wage war against its digital enemy, such as power grids, communication systems etc – it’s the new way to attack your enemy.

Currently when you attack another county you go in with a plane and jam their communications, this way all someone will have to do is enter a command and there is no risk of pilots being shot down. It’s a horrible thought to know that someone or a group out there has this kind of power, but we have to accept that this could be how things will now be done – wonder if the Mayan’s knew about this all those years ago?

On a serious note, we have no idea who created it, all we know is that there are a bunch of experts working on a Conficker removal tool, but we have no idea as to how much progress has been made. We cannot understand why it is taking so long to come up with a solution to remove the virus; it’s like the stealth fighter of the computer world, as you never know that it is there.

You may wonder why we are discussing the Conficker virus, as it was expected to unleash its havoc to the world back in 2009, but nothing ever came of it? A Bloomberg reporter has explained on Business Week that the threat is far from over, and that it has spent the past three years building up its infrastructure readying itself for the big attack.

Could there still be a threat from Conficker, or is it just another scare tactic like the Millennium Bug was?
