There's a computer worm that awakes on April 1, 2009. Microsoft's Malware Removal Tool will take it out, as would, I would imagine, the super cool program Malwarebytes.
Read more about the worm that is expected to be ready to activate on 12 million machines over at the NYTimes.
In the end, it will probably end up being nothing (nerds love to imagine doomsday scenarios where everyone's computer becomes an unstoppable cylon cloud computer where only those nerdy enough to know computers survive), but this is a good opportunity to download malwarebytes and scan your computer. You may find something you didn't even know was around.
