I heard there might be a virus for ALL computers tomorrow (for April Fools). Is this true?

Tip for best answer: M$1.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

No, not for ALL computers. It's the Conficker virus, which has affected about 9 million computers around the world with Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7 Beta, and Windows Server 2008 R2 Beta. Until today, nobody seems to know exactly what will happen tomorrow.

Edit: Actually, it's a worm, not a virus.
