April Fools Worm
I got this from our IT guys here at work, so I am passing along:
"There is an computer worm infecting Microsoft operating systems that is scheduled to go off on April 1. Microsoft has released a patch to prevent computers from being infected. If everyone could please download this patch immediately it would be highly appreciated. This is considered a high priority update and should preempt anything you are currently doing. Linux and Mac’s are not affected.
