Virus programmers have written a new virus that is scheduled to become active on April 1st, 2009. It is estimated that 9 to 15 million machines are currently infected. On April 1st, these machines will execute the malicious code, potentially causing havoc across homes and businesses.
We wrote about this vulnerability back in October of 2008. We rolled out proactive patches to all clients at that time.
Viruses tend to mutate quickly. Even with current virus protection, it’s advisable to always be wary of what files, links or videos you may receive. For viruses, the best defense is common sense. Even though our clients are patched, do not open any attachments you do not expect to receive, even if they are from a trusted source.
