Should I be worried about the April fools Virus aka Conflicker C virus infecting my Blackberry

Should I be worried about the April fools Virus aka Conflicker C virus infecting my Blackberry Curve 8900 on April 1? I heard that the virus only infects Windows based operatating systems but it's spread through the internet. So I wont use the internet that day but I get emails sent to me automatically. How can I turn the internet off on my BlackBerry? I've looked through all the options but cant seem to turn off the internet.

you can turn the internet off on mo0bile network,that being said, the BlackBerry,as of today, is the is unhackable, uncrackable, and can not catch a virus, but stranger things have happened.There is no need to worry about this virus on ur BB.
Actually, the only reason macs do not get these types of viruses is because they are not popular, not because they are immune. Windows run around 90% of the pc's, therefore virus makers target them.
