There are some serious flaws in this whole virus biz.
First of all, as someone else pointed out somewhere, if this is as serious and it's made out to be, why only a 250,000 dollar reward? That's not much for millions of loving pissed customers.
Second, they say it's been transferring itself to computers since october. Well, how do we know? I mean usually people don't go, "OH. You know, I just found this virus going to every computer on the internet, I think I'll wait til a week before April Fool's day to tell people about it."
And 3rd, it activates itself on April Fool's day. However practical the day may be, you cannot deny this would be the most epic practical joke ever played on society.
One more thing that isn't proof that it's a hoax or could be one, but rather a way it could be pulled off is by those virus scan things people are told to download. You download them and they tell you you have the "virus" which in reality may not even exist. And so far I've only seen like, 2 people say they have it... If anyone wants to prove they have it using a different virus scanner be my guest, I'm fairly certain this isn't what's going on anyways.
