So, how did it go? Was the April Fools Virus(Conflicker Virus) real? I wouldn't know. Anyways, if you know I would like to know! Thanks!

I dunno. There's something wrong with my computer. AG is the only site which works. Though, when everything is up and running I'm going to search for answers.

Well I ran virus checks for the whole time I was online during April's Fools Day to be safe.

Well, the owner of Downadup probably just sold the bot net to the highest bidder. You wouldn't have noticed a difference.

I dunno. I ran like a bunch of scans and downloaded updates to make sure my AntiVirus was up to date.

This was actually on the news. All it really did was make itself harder to eradicate

ok napoliano, there was already a worm of the same type about a year ago I think, but it was to a smaller scale of what people know this one can do. Who are you to say it doesn't exist? I highly doubt Microsoft would be going to the trouble of setting up a reward for finding the maker of the malware, if this was all a fake. Just couse it didn't happen on the date that was publicised, doesn't mean it never will.

The worm is real. Hasn't affected me though. Even if it only affected 10-15 million computers, there is a good chance that it wouldn't of affected yours.

Maybe you got a merit, and 5 of your posts got deleted.. Wait, that's not possible.

I was not affected and I think it was just an April fools joke.. A horrible joke.
