Simple Test for Conficker

by joe on April 5, 2009

With all the interest lately in the Conficker worm, my friend security evangelist Christopher Spence has set up a simple test on his company blog.  It basically just displays images from 4 of the security companies Conficker blocks.  If you can display the images, you probably are not infected.  Otherwise, there is a link to Kaspersky’s Conficker removal tool.  Visit Christopher’s Conficker Test page.

Hi,

Good article. Sophos’ Conficker removal tool can detect and remove all variants of the worm/virus.

As long as people run these tools it should stop any serious outbreak.
