Default Should We Shut Down Our Computers?

I was just watching 60 Minutes and they did a bit about the Virus worm "Conflictor". On April 1st (give or take a day), this horrible worm will get new instructions and could possibly infect our PCs..

From what I understand, there really is no protection against it. You can keep you protections up to date, but this worm finds ways around your protections. When infected, the hackers can transfer money from your account overseas without your knowledge.

I'm seriously considering shutting down my PC for awhile. It's not just attachments on e-mails, you have to worry about....that's easy, just don't open them.....But, just by clicking on an infected website, you can instantly be infected..

What are y'all gonna do about this Skeeeery Worm? 60 Minutes noted that even they were infected.....and they thought they were untouchable.
