Win32/Conficker Worm
30. March 2009 by admin.
Who is at risk?
Users whose computers are not configured to receive patches and updates from Microsoft and who are not running an up to date antivirus product are most at risk. Users who do not have a genuine version of Windows from Microsoft are most at risk since pirated system usually cannot get Microsoft updates and patches.
How does this worm interact with a machine? Nobody really knows at this point. Visit Symantec for more information.
As always ensure your anti-virus software is up to date and you have the most recent patches and updates from Microsoft.
