Removing Conficker/Downadup Virus
Conficker (A.K.A. Downadup) virus is a computer worm that does irritating things to your computers. Although it doesn’t destroy your operating system, but it does so many things to a point that your computer becomes too slow to be usable.
The worm takes advantage of a bug in Windows that’s why it is able to infect a computer by just going through the network. You can also get infected through memory cards or USB thumb drives.
At the moment, it seems that infections of this worm from USB or memory cards were very rare and most of the infections we saw were coming from network.
