No…
Its because macs are better.
Now lets get back to this fail thread shall we?
Is this fake?

If you're clever, Linux users won't get viruses either.
Because there are so few written for linux
And you need to have root privilages to run something like a virus, and anyone who is smart enough won't use their root account like that

Now I'm not saying that there absolutely is a virus but if there is a chance of there being one well it's better to be safe than sorry.
Just to be safe, back up very important data on a hard drive then delete it on the original computer. This will make it nearly impossible for the virus to take it. Be sure to disconnect the backup drive from the computer after storing data. As a precaution turn off your computer for the night. I would recommend you keep it off for the whole next day but lets face it, we are addicted to technology. If you need to use the computer for any reason that doesn't require internet disconnect the internet cable.

Think about this people. If this virus was gonna do all this, wouldnt the ISP's just shut down and stop providing internet service for a day so this could be sorted out?

Pretty sure the joke is to just get everyone off the net for an hour or so. torture.

The conficker virus

You are wrong.

So wrong, that I'm not going to bother explaining what a secure system architecture is to you.

Also, this virus is real, but it will mostly be affecting people in England and the UK.

So, we can't tell if we have a virus in our system until midnight?

The way to tell if you got it is by going to an antivirus site. If you're blocked, you got it.

I checked right away, and I can go on there, but I don't get if it only becomes affective at midnight.

EH what you sayd is true,i can enter on anivirus sites,but anyways...i think that the virus is real too :/ or is this just a stupid joke...

I was like WTF when i started mine comp,the keyboard didn't work,trough it was just a cable problem...

This reminds me of the Dark Knight.

If you tell people that it's a deadly virus and not a joke, they will know what to do.

If you don't say anything and release it on April Fools day, people wouldn't know shit.
