WARNING - Conflicker worm due to hit tomorrow

For those watching the news lately, you are probably well aware of this virus. For the others, please take the precautions necessary to prevent the spread and distruction this virus causes. It will steal all your personal info (Id, credit & checking info, business account info, etc.), nutralize any and all anti-spyware programing (self preservation) and then corrupt all your files and destroy your operating system. To prevent this virus from infecting your computer go to windows and update today. It will be a lenghty update so be prepared for a good 20-30 min. update. This is due to windows doing a search and destroy mission for this worm. Once it has completed this task, it will download a fixit update to prevent infection. To see if you are already infected try doing a search for an anti-spyware site like AVG or McAfee ( http://www.mcafee.com/us/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ) and see if you can connect. If not, you may be infected. Here is the link to update http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I figured since it hit the news, it was real...my lappie and the lawyer's lappie all check out...but then I realised maybe they mean the US April 1, and not the NZ April 1, which means I get to fret tonight as well.
