A virus has never hit me

I haven't had a virus hit my computer! Cyberdefender has protected my computer from the viruses that are out there. I don't have to worry about anything on my machine.

Conficker

As April 1st is almost over, I'm gonna say that conficker is probably foiled. It seems like a lot of places have got it under control. I'd say that this "Update" or whatever is just going to cover up the criminals tracks, possibly sending incriminating material to 100's of computers. As it is, I think the publicity foiled the whole thing. Or maybe it was just a big april fools joke, like, a big screen will pop up on infected computers saying "April Fools!" or something.
