Conficker worm still squirming its way to computers

Conficker squirms it way to Utah, the University of Utah that is. According to the Associated Press, the computer virus infected more than 700 campus computers.

The worm can even wiggle itself onto thumb drives, so be careful. Get this, according to Gizmodo.com, Conficker is charging $49.95 to remove itself from your system. Computerworld.com says the worm has been downloading a "noted Trojan horse bot" that could be used to rent PCs out to spammers. Yikes!
