So April 1st is coming and we all know what that means, or do we? Again we have a very real threat that might be affecting anyone able to read this. A very nasty virus is about to be unleashed, the date, April Fool's Day.
So you are gonna ask what is the difference between this virus and others? Well, Microsoft thinks it is such a threat they have put a $250,000 bounty on the head of the person who wrote this virus. That's a pretty good chunk of money for what you may think is a little virus, well, obviously it's not a little. This virus has been growing and revamping itself since it snuck into computers.
Now, I personally would love to meet and talk to someone who can write such a virus. The smarts behind them, the intelligence, the genius. I think talking with someone like this would be amazing, but that's just me. I think someone like this would be able to help me understand the computer better, and I have to say, I am no dumby on the computer, I have not had specific training on the puter, but I am a quick learner and know stuff I have checked into.
It's just that virus's are way out of my league. I have seen some of the program jargon used to write virus's and that is amazing to me. Another amazing feat would be the programmers who are deconstructing this virus and trying to find out about it and find who wrote it. Think about that! If you ever get a chance to see a program, do it, it is amazing.
Oh and by the way, the virus's name is Confricker 3. Nobody is really sure how hard it is going to hit, but it could possibly infect 50,000 computers a day!
So beware and be aware..

Hey! Thanks for the heads up on this! Despite the fact that it comes out on MY "special" day! That totally blows... But very interesting, yes.. And I too would love to talk to the person responsible for this virus, or any others.. Have you sent out an email to everyone telling them about this virus? You know I send all my questionable emails to you first.. I figure coming from you it's believable...
