What won't work? Turning your PC off tonight and back on on April 2 will not protect you from the worm (sorry to the dozens of people who wrote me asking if this would do the trick). Temporarily disconnecting your computer from the web won't help if the malware is already on your machine -- it will simply activate once you connect again. Changing the date on your PC will likely have no helpful effect, either.

so all of us saying that we are turning off our computers tonight for tomorrow, might as well not do it.

That message is aimed at those who think turning off the computer for a day is the solution. We are just waiting to see the results of this virus and see who's getting infected. That's why we are turning off our computers and using other means off internet access for the time being.

I thought it was impossible to tell even you was infected.

But when you re-connect, the worm will just activate.

By then the details behind the new conficker worm will be public. A solution will exist and can probably be downloaded on a public computer if necessary.

Who knows maybe it will be nothing and he can reconnect. I don't gamble a 600 dollar item... I can wait a day or two to see how widespread it is.

All my local news stations have been making note of it and I'm just laughing at it. It's not everyday that you get notice of a virus attempt on computers, I'm not afraid of it at all. Although this is a pretty epic virus I must say, the author must be proud of himself

Everyone was talking about at my library, they have no idea how a computer works or anything for that matter.

At the very least the author knows how to advertise.

my mom heard about it on the news and through some of her friends. and let me say, she was really scared of it. She thought it was the end of the world haha.

So what is everyone going to do? I personally don't think anything will happen.

I'm going to be watching the news to see if anything even does happen. Regardless though I'm just going to do what I regularly do.

So it's April 1st here. What time zone is this supposedly meant to go by because nothing has happened.
