        Apparently this could be a big bad nasty worm just sitting on your computer waiting for a command. And it has been apparently sent some kind of instruction for April 1st.

        While it is primarily the big companies that have been infected, I heard this thing actually mutates.

    My bet...

    Nothin'll happen.

    But I'll also bet that in the hacker forums
    there's been an almighty bidding war on
    what should happen.

    Turn the situation on its head.

    This has been a slick marketing campaign
    by the virus writers.

    As it happens, I don't agree with their means,
    but I admire their ability to create real concern
    among so-called 'normal' computer users...AND
    the world's media.

    Guess we'll find out tomorrow.

    It's BlackHat Mass Control in action...

    Cheers,
    Steve
