      This is a LEGIT virus warning, and it has been verified. 

      There is a virus/worm called Conficker and it has been around since 2008. 
      There is an update to that virus that is set to launch on April 1, 2009. 
This is verified through microsoft. It is a really nasty virus that has already 
affected about 20 million computers. It has even infected government and 
military installations. So it's serious. It can also affect USB jump drives.

      I made a video today showing people how to protect their computers. You 
can see it here:
      http://www.youtube. com/watch? v=FuJkmSdCf3o

      If you can, please pass that around so that everyone can see how to 
protect their computers. So far, this is the only thing that will stop the 
virus.

      If you can't watch youtube videos for some reason, then you need to do 
the following:

      Step 1 - 
      Update and run your computers anti-virus software. You also need to run 
any ad-aware type program you may have.

      Step 2 - 
      Go to this link and run the Microsoft Malicious software removal tool. I 
recommend running the full version
      http://www.microsof t.com/security/ malwareremove/ default.mspx

      Step 3 - Go to the this link and install the microsoft supported patch 
for the virus. Scan the list to see which version of Windows you are using.
