Well, all my scans came up negative, so I think I'm safe. Still, I don't think it has been activated yet, as I haven't heard any reports of it, so I can't be sure.

when I saw this on CNN they said most infected viruses are not in the US

around less than 5% so I would not worry anyways

A file that every student has on their computer to save stuff onto.

The one that was 'activated' today has been going on for a while now, it wasn't just released today civ..

However Conficker virus A and B were developed a long time ago and were mainly focused around its spread-ability. Those first 2 variants' were designed to just infect thousands of computers and not do anything (to our knowledge anyways). For all we know they could have opened a door for Version C to enter and fuck up people's systems.

So A and B were sitting in thousands of computers long before April 1st.

It was more like millions of computers, not thousands. A scan I ran came up as having found some sort of virus. But it said it was successfully quarantined. . . so I guess i'm good to go.
