April Fools Day-Conflicker Worm-NOT!

UPDATE: Here We Are and I Guess The Answer Is: April Fools On You!!!!

But view this as an opportunity to care for your anti virus protection as you would anything else in your life. Someone is always trying to screw with you, so protect yourself
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Is this an April Fools Joke? Does anyone know what is going to happen at midnight on April 1st? Will millions of computers start sending spam-through little robots? Or the possibilty might be your computer will start capturing everything you type, like your passwords, credit card numbers, and start sending your private information back to these invisible hacker masters!
No one knows yet, but Tomorrow is April Fools day already. The Conflicker Worm started surfacing in the late 2008. Headline started in January as known infections started topping out in 9 million computers. Now in its 3rd variant, Conficker C, the worm, has become incredibly complicated, powerful, and virulent in it's new form, no one really is quite sure exactly what it will do when April 1st clock midnight.

Microsoft has placed a Quarter of a Million Dollar Bounty on the head of the worm creator.

So what should you do to protect yourself?

1. Be extra watchful protecting your Computer.

2. Update through Windows Updater .

3. Update your anti-malware software.

4. Turn on your antivirus software , Conficker may have disabled it.
