As Americans are approaching April Fool's Day (April 1st), this sophisticated virus is on its way to go live at 5:00 PM Pacific Time, March 31, 2009. Security experts note that this virus will probably hit hard on pirated versions of Windows. Countries such as Indonesia, Eastern European, China, Brazil, Russia, and India are among the most vulnerlable nations.

Great write up. I fear that with the April Fools day target date that many people with consider this a hoax. Truth be known that Conficker is a growing trojan that began with Conficker-a and now has evolved to conficker-c. Microsoft reported that they first discovered the trojan in November 2008. For all windows based PCs make sure you run a full windows update and combined with a leading anti-virus you should be well protected. http://confickerinfo.com
