The Conficker Worm

[DarkWolf21]

I heard on my local news channel that a computer worm called "Conficker" targeted to unleash itself on April 1st. When i heard this, the first thing that came to my mind was "Venjix". What do you think?

Do all of these make you think of Venjix?

My mom was telling me about a worm this last night. She said it was gonna be released tomorrow on April 1st. She said the news said it could be spread by downloading and stuff. She told me to be careful of what I download. Personally, I don't plan on downloading anything tomorrow, to be on the safe side.

No. The Conficker virus is just something that caught my eye this morning. I happened to be writting a fanfic for RPM while watching the news lol.

Okay, apparently the worm my mom was talking about was Conflicker.

Set to strike tomorrow. Be wary, friends.

Is this for real? It feels like an April Fools joke. Why would they announce a worm would go online at a specific date? Wouldn't it take us by surprise?

[DarkWolf21]

I bet that's what the creators of the worm want you to think, so you won't be careful tomorrow. Either that or they're stupid :D

Well it hasn't affected me. And I have no anti-virus software on my computer.

Luckily KR Kabuto is here to save us from the Worm. :)

Haha I didn't realize that XD. I haven't heard from any of my friends if they've been effected so I doubt it really did much to anyone.

Oh well. Better to be safe than sorry ;)
