April 1st virus - We’ve posted before about the April 1st virus, and it seems that the date is just around the corner. Many people are searching for the name of the virus. It is Conficker not Conflicker, but well it doesn’t really matters too much, especially because of the consequences it might bring.

Many people are wondering how to protect their computers from the April 1st virus (or Conficker, or Downadup). This is a virus transmitted on peer-to-peer networks, so in the hours you have left you better avoid downloading through these networks. Your computer will be behaving normally until the activation date.

To ensure you don’t have any problems you can use F-Secure scanner and cleaner, which they provide for free to help people with this problem.

If you are on a Mac or Linux based machine you don’t have to worry as this April 1st virus only infects Windows based machines.

There you go start scanning and avoid downloading stuff from p2p networks.

Those were the latest news on the April 1st virus.
