April fool = D-day for Internet users *warning*
I guess no one bothered to read my post...I'll reiterate: April Fools Day has almost nothing to do with this one insignificant version of this old virus. If you aren't updating Windows, chances are you already have Conficker and many other malwares anyway. It's good to call attention to the fact that there is bad stuff on the net, but don't be so naive to think that there is only one piece of malware out there and that you're only vulnerable on one day of the year.

Will " Conficker C" cause havoc ?
Will it be an April fool’s joke ?
We will understand tomorrow !!!
The Clock is Ticking

CNN posted this article moments ago :
http://edition.cnn.com/2009/TECH/03/31/april.fools.computer.virus/index.html?iref=mpstoryview"How much money do you think the author will make from this worm? If he tries to sell phony software or something that is."Who knows ?!! We know nothing about the author/s . They may be an organization or something but their HQ is located around eastern Europe .
Gotta be acquaintances with Niko Bellic
"I'm on a Mac and i'm surfin' fast and i'm completely protected from this latest net scam."Huzzah HandsomeDead!
But I think it'd be funny if Macs did get this virus, however I don't buy it.
"I can just format again, usually what I always do."
Just remember to have a system restore disk as well. Really easy to do
Don't you all realize that this is obviously a huge conspiracy perpetuated by anti-virus companies and Microsoft to sell more software? At least, I hope it is...
"Don't you all realize that this is obviously a huge conspiracy perpetuated by anti-virus companies and Microsoft to sell more software? At least, I hope it is..."no shit. but the worst thing is that we have to fall under their mercy. there's nothing we can do about it
"I can just format again, usually what I always do."
Can't the worm just install a root kit and change the registry? Read that some mal-ware goes deeper then what a format will delete. Just saying. Sure you know a ton more about that then I do.
This thing looks real enough. Trying to fix my PC atm. The damn task bar and start menu disappeared out of the blue a few days ago.
PS3 porn FTW!
I just updated the blog

"Is Linux also affected?"No , only Microsoft Windows
"Mac :)"I'm sorry to hear that. My sympathies are with you, it's so sad that people have to live with conditions like this.
Anyways, I knew this wouldn't be the apocalypse it was made out to be.
Read that some mal-ware goes deeper then what a format will delete. Just saying.The registry is part of Windows, and most malware is written to run in Windows...even a quick format of a disk and a subsequent reinstall of Windows will get rid of every piece malicious software in existence that I know of. Data can be recovered from quick-formatted discs, but I don't know of a single piece of software that can survive a format and reinstallation of the OS.
