So far Conficker C appears to be a dud.

Some reports out from the guys running the honeypots are suggesting it activated today. Looks like the news is already out to the media so I'm not going to bother pasting a link but, if you're reading this and don't have an internet security suite running or have windows updates disabled (and your PC starts running slowly)...consider contacting Microsoft's PC Safety team..

This is a pretty neat little "am I infected?" test:

Probably a complete coincidence but we just lost all cable services (TV, interwebby and phones) for about 10 minutes (Rogers).
When the TV came back on I picked up a phone to check it and I was getting a radio or TV soundtrack on the landline.
Spooky.

Not at all.
Just not an Apple fan anymore.
First two computers were Apples then without warning they announced they would no longer support the later one I owned and it became a virtual paper weight overnight.
I've never forgiven them.
