Alan Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 One of the easy diagnostics for this worm is to check your Windows Update status (Start - Windows Update). Look on the right side for whether Windows Update is set for automatic updates. If yes - then you are probably fine (Conficker turns off automatic Windows updates). If not - turn auto updates ON. If you cannot turn them on - you have a high probability of having the Conficker worm and need to fix it asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Worm:Win32/Conficker.B is a new piece of malware targeting a vulnerability in Server Service affecting all supporter versions of Windows, including Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1, and Windows XP SP3.

feelnmarbleous Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 The worm is like any other, the news made it out to be very malicious when in reality it's not, you can boot up in safe mode and get rid of it, it writes to your registry..
