Alert - April 1st - it's not an April Fools gag - It's Real!
With the media hype and growing concern over the threat of the "April 1st Virus Threat", I want to provide some information and reassurance. You are protected if:

1. Your windows critical updates are current
2. You have an active license of Eset NOD32 antivirus software installed www.nexgold.com

If you are a Computer STOP client and get month server checks and our semiannual PC GoFast service, your protection is in place. We closely monitor your systems, and for any increased concern we are ready to respond if needed.

10 million PC's or more are infected with the newest Conficker worm, labeled Conficker C,. The original release targeted a critical vulnerability in the Microsoft operating systems, XP and Vista that do not have the patch MS08-067. People that have not patched their windows system with critical updates are vulnerable.

How do I know I have it?
Simple test is to perform a manual windows update. If you fail to get to windows update, then you MAY have the Conficker C. If you do, call us for a PCGoFast (to cleanup your PC)

Here's the detail from ESET
