Operation Killing Conficker / Downadup Worm
conficker, downadup, worm March 19th, 2009I received some feedback about the Conficker or Downadup worm… more on how to remove them.
OK I have to do this very brief coz I got not much time to write… work are waiting me… so, I will direct you to places where you can get more info about it…
I know you might not be able to go to the places if the computer you are using is already infected. You have to find another computer which is not infected to read or download because the Conficker will block you from accessing Microsoft or any antivirus websites.
OK… let me start with how you get infected…
If you are using Microsoft Windows, chances are you can get infected if you miss one of the important patches for your Windows. To know more about the patch, read it at Microsoft Security Bulletin MS08-067. You have to choose your Windows version from here to get the patch… Windows 2000, Windows XP – SP1/SP2/SP3, Windows Vista, etc.
To remove it, I used Symantec. To read what Symantec said about it, read The Conficker Worm.
I know, by reading that, it makes you more confused than solving your problem… if you want, you can go straight away here to download the remover >>> Conficker or Downadup remover.
OK, that’s all, hope it helps… there are other remover from other sites like F-Secure… Worm:W32/Downadup.AL
And there are a few variants, you need to use the right remover… but as far as the Symantec Conficker or Downadup remover, I think it’s good for most of the variants so far.
