Litsen; there is a Virus, that have been circulating the web for months, called Conficker C, it's harmless - and the april fools joke that some stupid forget came up with, was that it would like EXPLODE and steal all your stuff, or erease it. It's just a joke guys, calm down...

I've worked with computers, and stuff like this, I knew about the Confick C Virus long time ago, it's totally harmless. Just another trojan

If its designed to be sent once your computer thinks its April 1st, you could technically change the date to April 2nd, and avoid the entire thing

It will still activate on the 2nd.

That's funny, I've been hearing all kinds of stuff about this.

Well, my AVG works fine.

I can get onto all anti-virus vendor websites.

BUT! I CANNOT GET ONTO MICROSOFT.COM!!!

Connection Interrupted

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again.

That means I have it. If I couldn't connect because of internet reasons, it would say the server cannot be found. It this case, the connection has been reset, obviously by the worm.

It's most certainly April 1st over where I am, and it's not doing anything to my computer. But I think it's scary that I might have it.

Well, I can still get onto Microsoft.com, so I guess I'm not infected, but I'm just scanning my computer to make sure

Edit: Norton picked up the virus :O, but managed to get rid of it in like 5 seconds
