Conficker.E to self-destruct on May 5th?

The evolution of the multi-faceted Conficker worm is expected to take another turn this May 5th when the latest version, Conficker.E, will simply self-destruct on infected machines, say a number of security researchers.F-Secure, Trend Micro and SecureWorks are among those that believe Conficker.E — first spotted just this April and probably created by the same attackers that since last fall let loose the Conficker.A through Conficker.C variants — has been designed to simply self-detonate on May 5th.
