MASSIVE PROBLEM PLEASE READ!!!! OR YOU COMPUTER WILL DIE!

A VIRUS that has infected up to 15 million computers across the world could cripple London networks tomorrow.

The Conficker worm targets Microsoft users and has already infected machines on Royal Navy warships and in the House of Commons.

Security experts have warned that, from midnight tomorrow, it has been programmed to “phone home” or start scanning thousands of websites for a new set of instructions which tell it what to do next. They say it could generate millions of pieces of spam and bring the web to a virtual standstill – rendering email, banking and other systems unusable.

Experts admit they have no idea what exactly will happen – and admit the April Fool’s Day deadline could be an attempt to mislead them, or could indicate a prank.

Ed Gibson, Microsoft’s chief security adviser for the UK, said: “1 April is a classic date for anything like this to go off. But I would hate to say it is going to be unlike any other day.”

Microsoft has offered free software that protects against the virus, and put up a £172,000 reward for information leading to the conviction of the Conficker’s authors.
