ALERT! - Conficker Virus

[Asesino]

"As of 13 February 2009, Microsoft is offering a $250,000 USD reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the individuals behind the creation and/or distribution of Conficker."

I guess Microsoft was planning this April Fool's joke almost two months in advance, huh? They aren't offering money to the people that made the virus, they're offering money for information that leads to an arrest.

The Conficker virus -IS- real. The update on April 1st? I don't know. Just because something happens on the first of April does not mean it's a joke. "THERE'S A VIRUS THAT'S GOING TO DESTROY YOUR COMPUTER!" "Oh no! What do I do?! All my family photos are on there!" "LOL, APRIL FOOLS."

And Magus, come on. There's being blunt, and then there's being aggressive in a situation that doesn't call for it. The guy was just trying to help.
