London, Mar 25 : A security expert has cautioned that an Internet worm, called Conficker C, can strike at infected computers around the world on April 1.
Conficker C is a sophisticated piece of malicious computer software, or malware, that installs itself on a PC hard drive via specially written web pages and then conceals itself on a computer.
Graham Cluley, of the security specialist Sophos, has claimed that Conficker C is programmed "to hunt for new instructions on April 1".
