April First Conficker Virus

[John Galbreath Jr.]

Y'all be careful today. When I logged onto MySpace, it tryed to download this. It is a popup window that says you need to run antivirus. Do **NOT** click the red "X" to close the box, that runs the program. Instead, CTRL-ALT-DEL to start task manager and close internet explorer. Norton did catch it when the popup came on.

I was reading about this Sunday. It is supposed to hit over 100,000 websites and makes it nearly impossible for them to catch. Microsoft has a bounty out on the head of who created it. I backed everything up to my external hard-drive and updated all anti-virus and spy ware software Sunday. I really don't know what people get off of writing viruses other than these large anti-virus companies to stay in business.
