Have a Windows PC? Don't forget April 1 is D-day for the Conficker virus, check that you have the latest patches from Microsoft and you should be ok.

It could be on your computer already. It is supposed to go active on the first. I just had to clean up my daughters PC. The virus blocks you from updating at Microsoft. I needed to restore to an earlier date. About a month then go through all of the updates.  The virus also turns off your automatic update.  So far it looks to be working.
