Here's one computer virus that's no April Fool's joke
Cyber security experts are warning that Conficker, a fast-spreading computer worm also known as Downadup, could attack millions of computers by Wednesday morning.
Personal computers and laptops already infected with Conficker could automatically be linked to the servers operated by the hackers. Conficker is a small computer program that has made its way around the world, probably infecting millions of computers
that run on Microsoft Windows.
"The big thing that makes this one creepy is that it's adapting to the defenses that the security community is putting up," said Dan Kaminksy, a computer security consultant for Seattle-based IOActive, Inc. The virus, released through an infected e-mail message, automatically turns off security settings built into Microsoft Windows, blocking users from going to Web sites that provide anti-virus protection.
