I thought this was nothing, but to my surprise, it's all over the net, just a heads up guys, be careful, me im personally unplugging my ethernet and shutting down my PC for the day for safety reasons.




PS: Mac and Linux users, please, just please, dont bring the crap here.
Not going on your computer on April 1 won't save you at all because Conficker will try and download the new payload any time after the 31st of March 2009. So, even if you stay off your computer on the 1st of April, the worm will try and update itself the next day.

If you really want to be safe, just use a conficker removal tool or simply reformat your computer.
