OSU Information Technology has received information that a dangerous virus is scheduled to be released on Wednesday, April 1 (April Fool's Day). The virus, named Conflicker C, will travel through peer-to-peer communications and local network traffic and will attempt to figure out your passwords. It also can be carried from one computer to another on a USB thumb drive or any other portable storage device.
It is recommended that you make sure your computer operating systems and anti-virus software are up to date and that caution is used with any e-mail and peer-to-peer communication (especially BitTorrent users), as well as the use of social networking Web sites.
