the virus is not new, it's been out for a year + and has millions of infections. but so far it doesn't do anything really bad. On April 1st, the comptuers that already have the virus, will contact the virus update server, and transform the virus into something else. nobody will know what it can do untill it happens. could be really bad. (think 4 million PC's attacking wall street or anything else) or it could do nothing.
this is not a scare of uneffected computers getting a virus tomorrow, this is a scare of what somebody is going to do with control of millions of comptuers tomorrow.
the more people that scan and update before april 1st, get rid of the virus, the less comptuers will be attacking the world tomorrow.

so what exactly happens when this worm hits? im trying to go onto malwarebytes.org right now and it seems to be having trouble resolving its host, as well as other sites.
EDIT: lol. search up conflicker on google and so far any sites that has that word on its title or body, its failing to resolve its host.
