Its no April Fools joke guys, the conficker worm (also known as Conficker C, Conficker D,Downadup, and Kido) is real! Experts say that the worm has infected millions of computers already. Now this worm has been around for a while but today, on April 1â??st it will start taking steps to protect itself, making it much harder to get rid of. The worm works by taking advantage of a problem with the Windows operating system (also known as MS08-067) to quietly install itself. And yes you read it correctly, the worm is only on WINDOWS operating system. If you have a mac, linux or any other operating system then you dont have much to worry about.

APRIL FOOLS!!

Just kidding, it's real but you got your facts mixed up:

If you’re worried about the Conficker worm striking on April 1st, don’t be.

On April 1st the Conficker worm will simply start taking more steps to protect itself. Beginning on April 1st the worm will use a communications system that is more difficult for security researchers to interrupt.
