Conficker Virus Threat on April 1st
« on: March 31, 2009, 10:40:43 PM »
Hey, just to give everyone a heads up about the upcoming virus threat. It is said to be planned to attack on April 1st ("April Fools") tomorrow.

Just want to make sure all of you are made aware.

April Fool's on July 1st? Apparently I've been misinformed.

Was the July 1st thing supposed to be an April Fool's joke? Your humor upsets me. *leaves*

On a side note, yeah, I've been hearing a lot about this at school. I don't expect it to be that big of a deal, maybe just a few comps at most.

EDIT: ... NVM on the first part... :/

No that was me having a "blonde" moment between my IST course, Messenger, and Charas. Sorry again.

While you're at it, I'm pretty sure it's Conficker, not Cornficker.

Although "Cornficker" is quite a bit funnier.

But yes, very important! Do download!

Actually, according to the creators, the virus will destroy all infect computers (DESTROY US ALL!) somehow. Anyhow, it's best to be prepared.

You're already infected, it's too late! You will die!
