Conficker - April 1st

this computer virus worm thing is said to have infected 10 million computers. and on April 1st it is going to download instructions on your computer. i think everyone should run a full virus scan with all the anti-virus software you have. i also read it's using every trick to stay hidden in your computers. it's kinda scary. imagine just 10 million computers shutting down, or having identity stolen. or all those computers being used to hack into some big corporation or government thing.

I hope it breaks into gov't computers and proves alien life is really out there :)

Here is a link to get a removal tool just in case:

So do we run the scan before the 1st? Or on the 1st? I'm such a doofus when it comes to computers..

You should run it before the 1st. It would be to late on the 1st.
