You may have already heard that there is supposed to be a particularly nasty computer virus dubbed "The Conficker Worm" hitting computers across the country on April 1st. In reading an article on Yahoo Tech, I found a free scan offered by Microsoft that will give your computer a full check-up. I ran it last night on our desktop and we were virus-free! I'm planning to run it again after the 1st of April. Since this is a brand new virus, you may want to run a scan even if you have anti-virus software running.
Here's the link to the free scan.

You just need to click on 'Full Service Scan' .
And in case you are interested, here is the article that descibes the Conficker Worm.
