Don't know if it amounts to anything, but as a precaution.

Yes, that's worth keeping in mind. Some viruses like "anniversaries".

I heard about this warning on the news and it was said that it is really a serious problem.
This one I am taking very seriously.

Dear Sniper,
Thank you for the timely warning! All fools Day will thus allow me to study a few hours more,since i am going to rest my PC on that day! The one person who'll be most happy other than those scumbags who are behind the confiker c variant, will be mom!

Microsoft Place $250,000 Bounty on the Conficker Author.

This isn't the first time Microsoft has offered such a bounty. In 2005, it paid $250,000 to two people for identifying "name removed.," the teenager who wrote the Sasser worm.

Mozilla Scrambling to Patch New Firefox Flaw

A newly-revealed "boundary condition error" in Firefox, affecting the current version 3.07, has been released, including proof of concept code for it.

The advisory also calls this a memory corruption vulnerability and adds that :"An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected browser. Failed exploit attempt will result in a denial-of-service condition."

Mozilla is working on the problem which they call both "critical" and "FIXED". A report in Computerworld says that Firefox 3.08 will be released soon to bring us
