Conficker is a worm that is coming out on April Fool's Day 2009. Once Conficker infiltrates a machine, it tries to crack administrators' passwords, hijack security software, disable commercial antivirus software, and opens the PCs to further infections. Internet security experts were so struck by the authors' skills that they formed the "Conficker Cabal" to fight back against the worm. Many people are frightened by this, but others are staying positive thinking that it is going to be an April Fool's Day joke.
