WARNING: Virus Alert – Conficker
This is a bit unusual. This is not a money saving tip, coupon, deal, or even a gift idea (unless it is for someone you really don’t like).
I just wanted to share with you a warning about a sleeper virus that is apparently spreading, is very dangerous, and is expected to go into action on April 1st.
The virus is called Conficker. It looks like it only effects Windows PCs, not MAC or Linux.
Hugh Deura is an Information Security expert who has written a great blog post about the virus and how to make sure you don’t get infected. Check out Hugh’s blog post at: http://blog.deurainfosec.com/conficker-c-worm-and-april-fool
Here is Microsoft’s link for fixing it:

Good Luck staying safe,
