April Fools Online
On March 29th, 60 Minutes aired a segment on Internet hackers and worms called “The Internet Is Infected.” The entirety of that segment is embedded here. If you haven’t seen it, I recommend you watch now.
Please make sure your anti-virus software is updating daily, or at minimum, weekly. Don’t be an online fool and let your updates subscription expire and think you’ll be safe. We’ve seen virus/worm alerts pop up for pages on eBay, Excite, MSN Hotmail, and other trusted sites. It might be just one malicious image, or an advertisement, or some script code on the page that was placed there by a self-propagating worm. We’ve also seen email forgeries that look like they come from legitimate companies, but they don’t and they carry a nasty payload. You don’t need to worry, you just need to UPDATE your software at daily or weekly intervals.

I hear Conficker is waking up and coming alive and leading people to buy fake antivirus software. Watch out!
