Update your Virus Scanner & Patch your system
If you are a Windows user, then you should take the time this weekend to make sure your operating system is fully patched (via Windows Update) and that your virus scanner's definitions are up to date.There's a new worm called Conficker C on the loose that has already infected millions of computers and is set to 'turn on' some particular feature (unknown as of right now) on April 1.
That feature could range from the benign to the outright destructive, so don't take any chances.

Just keep thinking that your Linux and Macs are immune to threats. The only reason Windows is targeted is because 75% of the world's computers run Windows. That is your average Joe Schmo home user. I'm not talking about business environments. I can't wait for malware/spyware/viruses to run rampant on Linux and Mac. Be warned, your days are coming!!!!
I predict this will be as big a problem as Y2K was. ;)
All the changing your clock tricks are clever, but not as clever as Coficker, which checks with public time servers.
Most important thing you can do, especially if you're not running Vista: Run Windows Update and apply the patch from last October, assuming you're so out of it that you haven't already.
