Conflicker and Tux

[nealaustin]

I am on Comcast and they regularly send me info on how to keep my Windows healthy. PC Tools is the originator as they are in contract with Comcast. Today I got one of their emails and it referred me to an eye chart to see if my computer was infected, it wasn't. But look who shows up on the eye chart! It's my friend Tux. Is this a coincidence? I guess that if you are riding with tux you are safe. This is the site:

Is not a coincidence.


It's unlikely to hurt your Ubuntu installation because cornflicker is a piece of malware for Windows.

I saw the same article on Slashdot this morning and didn't bother following the link, as I run Jaunty full time.
