Exactly. Everything is up to date on me and I only download from websites I trust. I'll be fine.

Wouldn't surprise me the least if it was an April's Fools joke...but now that I think about it, It could be reverse Phychology. Maybe the creator wants us to think that so we don't do shit about it and then were are defenseless. Meh. Either way. My internet will stay on.

You know, the easiest solution to take care of it is to disconnect from a network? Of course you would obviously need to reconnect at some later date.

Read the article that Whisper posted.

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. And yes, Macs are immune this time out. Follow the above instructions to detect and remove the worm.

April 1st is when it STARTS. Not when everything happens.

April 1st is when the worm switches to its next scheduled distribution process. That is all.

I might just reinstall xp soon........ just in case.
I found the MS update site, but I can't seem to update.
It might be since im using a old window IE

Btw what is stub its asking for access to my internet
C:\document and setting\owner\local setting\temp\7zS333.tmp\stub.exe
Edit-Even during the setup for window IE checking for milious programs just put a X on it. Well nice knowing im infected I guess.
