Well, not really.  The “worm” is supposed to be released at midnight April 1st and cause all kinds of havoc throughout the interweb land.  I just don’t see it happening.  And why are you all concerned over ONE worm?  Throughout the year, worms and viruses are released all the time and nobody makes a big deal out of them until their computer is crashing every day.

So, now the news is picking up on this hub-bub about the ConFicker Worm and the whole internet population must watch out!?!  What happened to Y2K?  Exactly, get all the hype and hoopla out there and cause a big stir (anti-virus software sales are up for sure) and watch that nothing really happens.

At least, nothing that is more of a big deal that Adaware or MalwareBytes software can detect.  Yahoo reported there was ways to protect yourself, which included FREE downloadable software!  If this thing is such a big deal, then why is a FREE anti-virus software enough protection?

I rest my case, see you tomorrow, or not :)
