According to the radio this morning it's expected to hit on April 1st, 2009. Read here....http://asia.cnet.com/crave/2009/03/31/conficker-worm-might-originate-in-china/

There is also a link to a free antivirus that will remove it.
Link to it is here....

If you are already infected somehow, this link will tell how to remove it...

Find who made Conficker and Microsoft will pay you a $250,000 reward. So they say.
 
I checked mine, nothing here! I know one of the symptoms is not being able to get onto Microsoft, but has anyone been able to get to MS today?
 
No infection found here, either. I was able to download MS's updated malicious removal tool. The only problem I encountered was after checking for infections, I no longer had ANY sound. I had to reinstall some file from my Creative Labs DVD to get things working again. A pain in the arse and took about 30 minutes to correct, but at least I know my system is in good shape.

Yes, had no problems getting to M$.

My wife's computer came out clean too, my computer security paranoia paid off.....:woot:
 
According to the 'puter gurus, if you're wondering if it may be sitting quietly (hidden) on your computer, just try to go to the Norton/McAffee/etc web page. If you have been infected, the little beastie won't allow your computer to go to the major anti-virus sites.
 
I am guessing there must be something going on with my DSL provider and the connection seems really slow. Still can't get to MS. I have tried it on 3 computers here and it just won't go there.
 
Infection Test - Conficker Eye Chart

Hi Folks

Not a joke.

re: Checking for infection.
The conflicker worm blocks access to specific security websites.

That makes it extremely easy to test whether you're infected.

Just access the Conficker Eye Chart page in your browser.

It calls images from 6 security websites,
which allows you to instantly see if you're infected by Conflicker.
