Do you have Conficker?
April 3rd, 2009One of the quickest and easiest ways to tell if you are infected with Conficker virus is to look below and see if any of the images from four of the 100+ security sites blocked by Conficker do not load. I put four images for the following security websites: Kaspersky Lab, F-Secure, Secureworks, and Trend Micro below. If you have any problems loading these images or visiting the sites listed, you may be infected with the Conficker virus. If you are using a proxy server you will likely still be able to load the images and this is not a good test.
If you believe you are infected with Conficker (Kido/Downadup) check out Kaspersky’s KKiller tool to remove it.

Otherwise, there is a link to Kaspersky’s Conficker removal tool. Visit Christopher’s Conficker Test page. [...]

Hi,
Good article. Sophos’ Conficker removal tool can detect and remove all variants of the worm/virus.
As long as people run these tools it should stop any serious outbreak.
