3/31/2009 - Conficker Security Update Awareness.You may have heard recently in the news of the Conficker worm. Most experts don't expect anything dramatic on Wednesday April 1st, but Windows users are being advised to make sure to apply the latest Microsoft security patch and to be sure they're using up-to-date antivirus software.
The worm exploits a vulnerability in Windows that Microsoft patched in October, as well as through network shares and removable storage devices like USB drives. OBU’s IT Services has provided the update in the download section of ITS website.
A quick way to tell if your computer is infected is to try to access the Web site of a major antivirus vendor, which the worm blocks such as Symantec, Trend Micro, or McAfee.
The latest variant shuts down security services, blocks connections to security Web sites, downloads a Trojan, and connects to other infected computers via peer-to-peer technology. It also includes a list of 50,000 different domains to reach out to for updated copies or instructions, but only 500 of those will be contacted on April 1. Source: CNet.com
A more thorough way of knowing if you are infected with the Conficker worm or you think you are infected visit Trend Micro’s Housecall and perform a free scan. Remember to patch your system by installing the Microsoft Update.
