Everyone is talking about the April Fool Worm called the “Conficker Virus” which is not an April fool’s Joke; in fact this is very real indeed and could affect millions. We all know that this virus could affect millions of computers; but what we want to know is “Can it affect Microsoft Windows Smartphones”?

The best way to see if you are affected is to visit web pages from either McAfee or Symantec, if you cannot get onto these pages then it is most likely you have been affected. Many are saying if you download Microsoft Security Update MS08-067 you will be relatively safe. Please answer this question “April Fool Conficker Virus Worm: Can it affect Microsoft Smartphones?
