April Fools Worm - Conficker Worm or Downadup or Kido

April Fools Worm - Conficker Worm or Downadup or Kido



The Conficker Worm, also called Downadup or Kido is a kind of Worm not a Virus that can gathers all your personal information like email password, credit card, or any information that you input on your computer. All User Windows XP and Windows Vista are the Target of this worm. Conficker Worm takes the advantage of your computer problem with Windows (a vulnerability) called MS08-067 that can quietly install itself. It is automatically turn off automatic backup service, delete your previous backup restore points.

One of the sign that your computer is infect you cannot access the Microsoft and other Security-Related Website because Conficker Worm disable your security services and blocks access to the most of security web sites like microsoft and symantec, nod32 or any security related website. And the worst it tries to spread itself to other computers on the same network through shared folders on a networks and by infecting USB devices such as memory sticks.Remember it can install to your computer silently without notice. It also tripped your account lockout policies and your Domain controllers respond slowly to your client requests.



Actually, Conficker Worm is released last 1st of April 2008 called April Fools Worm. Most of the creator of Antivirus are worried that this worm will launch again this 1st of April 2009. Microsoft release a patch to prevent your Computer with that Worm. You may freely download the patch on Microsoft website. If your Computer are auto update direct to Microsoft you already safe from that Worm.

If your computer are already infected don't worry you may remove that virus. Just pull out your Hard Disk which have a virus and get into another computer which not infected then copy and install the patch from Microsoft. But I suggest to Format your whole hard disk and try to install the patch. (Backup your file first before you format)

I do recommed that you should aware to all computer updates especially about virus bacause maybe one day they will going to surprise visit to your computer that can gives you a lot trouble.
