There's a lot of hype surrounding this computer worm that is supposed to hit on April 1.

I did a quick look around the net and found this interesting bit at http://www.betanews.com/article/CERT-suggests-oneclick-Conficker-check/1238439417:

"CERT on Sunday issued a bulletin updating the infection situation and suggesting that if users are unable to load two particular URLS -- one at Symantec (http://www.symantec.com/norton/theme.jsp?themeid=conficker_worm&inid=us_ghp_link_conficker_worm, one at McAfee (http://www.mcafee.com/us/ -- it might indicate that the machine is infected, since Conficker interferes with access to those sites. Windows users may want to take a second to click for themselves."

I did a quick check and both sites open for me.

No problems here but then as long as your anti virus is up to date as well as operating system you should have no problems
