it wasnt supposed to launch today. You were supposed to already have a virus and computer experts expected the bug makers to have made the program so it went crazy on april fool's day, but so far nothing has happened

Wow, this Conficker worm is totally a news hype. I ve been swapped with calls and emails at work about this worm. Dudes, this worm is nothing new.

But, not to imply that this worm is weak, it sucks to remove, not your normal MalwareBytes and your done.
