The Worm:Win32/Conficker.D targeting Windows operating systems, including Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP, is set to make yet another step further in its evolution come next week, on April 1, 2009. The worm, which is reported to have infected anywhere from eight to 12 million machines (and even more) since it was initially introduced in October 2008, will grow in complexity on April Fool's Day with the malware authors having the upper hand, as the security community is waiting not only to see what will happen, but also to respond to the threat and adapt security solutions to block the evolved malicious code.
