We expected tech mayhem on April 1st, the day the Conficker worm was going to wreak havoc on our computers. Some of us even tried to outsmart it by changing the date on our computers - often with unexpected consequences. My friend Beth set the date a few days ahead and sent off work related documents way past the deadline. Then she had to send explanations!
But - its not a false alarm and all is not over as yet. Conficker has just appeared at the University of Utah knocking out computers in the hundreds. So, user beware! The best protection is to have a good well known anti virus software and update and run it regularly. Meaning - once a day. Cheers!
