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.

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