Conficker Virus Removal from ESET

[TilDeath]

....It seems that some people are still confused as to how to remove Conficker if it’s already on their system. So here’s a quick summary:

   1. Disconnect the infected (or thought to be infected)  computer from the network and the Internet.
   2. Use an uninfected PC to download the respective Windows patches from the following sites:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS08-067.mspx
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms08-068.mspx
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms09-001.mspx
   3. Reset your system passwords to admin accounts using more sophisticated ones. [Note that it can spread through shared folders.]
   4. Download an  one-off ESET application (again, using a non-infected PC) which will remove the worm.
   5. Install the updated anti-virus program.
   6. Re-connect the PC to the network and the Internet.

You might also want to disable Autorun.

I have placed the ESET scan and remover tool on my server for people to use.  Hope this helps.

If you try to update your virus protection and you are unable to connect, you are infected.

Run the EXE I have the link to.  It will check and see if you are infected.

Yes it found no virus so didn't need to run.  I would not put my eggs in Avast's basket

I use avast and Symantec...no problems on either of my comps.

Thanks TilDeath for the info and link. I use eset and have had no problems since I installed it about 5 months ago.

You won't get access to Microsoft websites such as Windows Update.
