A new virus may be set to target computers on April Fool’s Day.

Wired PR News – A new malware threat may prove to be the most destructive one seen in a while. As reported on Yahoo! Tech Buzz, the Conficker C worm is expected to be set to attack on April 1, and has led to the rush of security experts seeking ways to lesson it’s potential impact. As noted in the report, the Conficker was first given widespread attention in January of this year after initially surfacing in the latter part of 2008. It is said to have affected more than nine million computers. The Conficker C is the third version of the malware to be released. Microsoft has reportedly offered a $250,000 reward to those who may have information leading to the worm’s source or writer. Individuals are cautioned to help protect their PCs by taking steps such as updating anti-malware software.
