There's almost always several viruses coming out on April Fool's, but this one is no joke, it may have infected 5 million-10million PCs already, there's even a special team of hackers that's working to stop it, but have had no luck so far. According to them, they have been able to detect the virus with most antiviruses with the latest updates, and they say that if you have the latest Microsoft updates and have a good antivirus that's updated, the risk that you're infected is much lower. But regardless, what am going to do is get all the latest Microsoft and Symantec(makes Norton antivirus) updates, then on March 31st I'm going to get them again and run a scan with both Norton and Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool. Also according to them, the Master Computer is going to take over all zombie viruses and start attacking, now I think this will require connection to the internet so on March 31st I'm going to unplug my ethernet cable and turn off my computer, not turning it back on until I get some information on what happened after April 1st. This might or might not work, but it's worth a try.
