Here is a simple test, (courtesy of lastwatchdog.com) to find out whether or not you are already infected with Conficker, aka the April Fool's Day worm.
Try clicking Microsoft.com. Then try Symantec.com. Finally, try McAfee.com. If you can open these websites, then you are not infected with Conficker – it has a redirect built in to keep you from opening these sites. However, if your browser will not let you access any of these websites, chances are you are already infected with Conficker.
No matter what the outcome of this simple test, I recommend that you check out these user-friendly scan-and-clean tools.
