Beware guys!!!!. Another conficker worms will be launching this coming April.  The malicious program already is thought to have infected between 5 million and 10 million computers. Those infections haven’t spawned many symptoms, but on April 1 a master computer is scheduled to gain control of these zombie machines, said Don DeBolt, director of threat research for CA, a New York-based IT and software company.
