Help for Conficker


a list of the Conficker removal programs is available on the Web site of the Conficker Working Group , an alliance of companies fighting the worm .

The removal program will take care of themselves , for the most part , scanning your system and purging the worm .


One thing to note : Conficker blocks infected machines from running removal tools with " Conficker " in the name of the file . ( once you've saved the tool to your desktop , right click on it and select " rename" ) before running it .


The program's instructions will lt you know if you need to do this .

Many antivirirs vendors already have changed the names in their removal tools , in some cases calling the file a misspelled variant of " Conficker " to trick the worm into letting the progam run .
