Although various sources say that this method do not work anymore, you can never be too careful.

What to do :
1.Turn your PC on
2. Enter the BIOS menu by pressing the DEL key or as instructed by the manual of your mobo.
3. Go to the standard CMOS settings.
4. Change the date to anything but 1st april.
5. let the day of 1st april go by.
6. After a couple of days or the next day, change the date in the CMOS back to the normal date.

That just might not work as the worm has evolved. But yeah, its worth a shot.
The best way to protect yourself against this threat is to have an updated original anti virus.

You cannot be sure guys that changing the dates will work because the virus programmers are not becoming any stupider. Maybe they will distribute it out on the day and program it to actually spread and destroy.

If any of you think that i lied at my post, be informed that i didnt. I even posted at the chat box.

I am not saying that its certain for you to be attacked, but i certainly know how it feels to be caught off guard.

That wouldn't matter. From what I read somewhere, Conficker gets the time and date from numerous websites, changing the time locally will not do a thing.

Internet Date Check
Before proceeding to the main P2P logic, C contacts a list of known web sites to acquire the current date and time. C incorporates a set of embedded domain names, from which it selects a subset of multiple entries from this list. It performs DNS lookups of this subset list, and it filters each returned IP address against the same list of blacklist IP address ranges used by the domain generation algorithm (see Appendix 2). If the IP does not match the blacklist, C connects to the site's port 80/TCP, and sends an empty URL GET header, for example

contents.192.168.1.1.40.1143-195.81.196.224.80
GET / HTTP/1.1
Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, application/x-ms-xbap, */*
Accept-Language: en-US
UA-CPU: x86
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 6.0)
Host: tuenti.com
Connection: Keep-Alive

In response, the site returns a standard URL header that incorporates a date and time stamp. C then parses this information to set its internal system time. The following web sites are consulted by C's Internet date check:
