Don't forget Windows users Conficker.c is coming tomorrow - New England Patriots Forums

Conficker.c is a worm, a malicious program thought to have already infected between 5 million and 10 million computers.

Those infections haven't spawned many symptoms, but on April 1 a master computer is scheduled to gain control of these zombie machines, said Don DeBolt, director of threat research for CA, a New York-based IT and software company.

I wore a tin foil hat into work today just for this. A few coworks snickered - but most scratched their heads.

I actually thing it won't do much tomorrow - I think the creators are going to lie low for a week or two - maybe more - just so the heat dies off a bit. Only one hour till we find out!
