,----[ Quote ]
| Starting on 1 April, Windows PCs infected by the latest variant of the
| Conficker worm (Conficker-C) will start attempting to contact a sample of
| 50,000 pre-programmed potential call-home web servers from which they might
| receive updates, a massive increase on the 250 potential web server locales
| used by earlier variants of the code.

Virus strikes 15 million PCs
,----[ Quote ]
| A virulent computer virus has infected as many as 15 million computers around
| the world so far, according to various estimates.
|
| The virus -- a self-replicating computer worm known as Downadup, Conficker or
| Kido -- spreads across computer networks using Microsoft Windows software
| which have not been patched or updated properly. Microsoft issued a patch
| that fixes the vulnerability the virus exploits last October.
