The cyber worm set to attack computers April Fool's Day is no joke.
The worm is called the 'Conficker.c.'
It's a malicious program thought to have already infected between five and ten million computers.
Experts say those infections haven't shown many symptoms, but on April 1st, a master computer is scheduled to gain control of the infected computers.
Local computer specialists say the worm could give hackers access to millions of personal files.
Microsoft is actively looking for who started this worm.
The company is offering a $250,000 reward to find who's responsible.
