Do you all believe that this virus is real or is it just a April fools prank?

For those of you who don't know, the Dooms Day Virus is going to be spread around the continent on April 1st and will infect millions of Windows computers.  As to what the virous will do on your computer, I do not know, but know these signs!

If you have the virus:

1) It might not let you turn off your computer.

2) It won't let you get to Windows help or suppport online.

3) Or, it won't let you fix your computer.

If any of these signs appear on your computer, unplug the ethernet or internet connections to your computer, because that is how the virus controls what you do. 
Then, get in contact with proffesionals to check and repair your computer.

Don't open emails from people who you don't know.

It always possible for these kind of things to occur. Back in the day, a Mac was the way to go, because not many virus could be written in that form. People wrote viruses to be directed toward Microsoft for some reason that it was easier to write code for windows. When, the Mac started using Intel chips, they became just as vulnerable as any other computer.
