Any windows users out there make sure you download Windows Update Patch 958644 to avoid the April 1st virus.
From AustralianIT:
SECURITY analysts are bracing for possible internet disruptions tomorrow when the tenacious and mysterious Conficker worm "wakes up" and directs some 10 million infected computers to "call base" for instructions from a master controller.
But global IT experts have no idea who is behind Conficker, and are unsure what to expect when the malware is triggered on April 1. Also known as Downadup, it exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft Windows systems that allows a remote attacker to take control of infected machines.
