My roommate said he found a virus on his comp today and that it's supposed to activate on April 1st and really mess up all the systems it is in now.
So...who's pulling who's leg and has anyone here heard tell of this yet?
April's 1st worm?

That would make a lot of sense. All of my school's computers were infected with it a couple of weeks ago, I dunno if they took care of it. That'd be kind of funny actually. :S
Goooo hackers with a sense of humor. And an atrophied moral compass.

Sun, 03/29/2009 - 6:12pmYeah, my roommate gave me a microsoft scan that was supposed to detect and kill it, but it found no threats on my computer, so I should (hopefully) be good
and yeah--it was the Conficker (my roommate's comp had it and he removed it w the scan he let me use)
