MsFlutter -> Conficker C on April 1 (3/24/2009 7:43:30 AM)
http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/tech_and_web/article5960303.ece Sounds like the run-up to Michelangelo in the early 90s. It was to launch on a Sunday so, before we left work on Friday, we set all the DOS clocks/dates back one day. When we came in on Monday, we corrected the date/time on each system. If the virus was present, it never 'saw' the target date to launch and Michelangelo didnt create any casualties in our division. Wasnt really a practical answer for the network systems but it worked well for the stand-alone units !

MsFlutter, Thank you for this. I am using linux more and more. But it is still good to know and another reason to do a "spring cleaning" of the hard drive in late March. Outlier

We need to revert to the old numerical system, 20 for the women, 21 for the men.
