You should be OK as long as you don't install the worm onto your machine. If you're really concerned, just boot from a live CD when you do sensitive transactions.
 
Unless something has changed, Conficker was just sitting there dormant not collecting any info from anybody. They are concerned because it could be turned on at any time.

if it did start collecting would it raise a red flag with virus scans, etc?

I'm pretty sure he's being sarcastic.

nah. im actually worried. don't want my monies to be jacked.
 
Are you that unsure about yourself and your systems to be worried that you have a virus?

Is your virus software on and up to date? Is your windows update on and up to date? If so, then I wouldn't worry about it.
 
I just conflicked myself.

Be afraid, very afraid.

P.S. You realize how many viruses there are on the net right? What makes this one so special? It got a little bit of hype because its only coming out on a certain date. BIG WHOOP

(watch tomorrow the devil makes me eat my words)
