Not had a proper look yet as I am off into a meeting, but BitDefender have released a couple of cleanup tools, one for standalone, and one for networks.

Might be of use to someone.

Yeah, so far all is good. It will probably remain that way for the day too. They probably have something planned to attack on Friday the 3rd to throw us all off Cheesy

I saw a comment somewhere saying how they thought it was a gov't conspiracy to create a super botnet.. could be.. lol

I don't know about you guys, but I am definitely putting on my aluminum deflector beanie. 

Hmmm, I wonder if these would be useful as protection against social engineering.

Seems like someone was making a experiment with these conficker worms. i mean that analysis of conficker C basically states there were numerous implications that were added that "only as little as 15% of the original B code base untouched" so it seems to me like it was a modification from a different author who found/was infected by B and decided to use it for his/her/their own ends. of course thats just a  Blind assumption   Wink. Its kind of creepy how in the Analysis report the researchers added "It is clear that the Conficker authors are well informed and are tracking efforts to eliminate the previous Conficker epidemics at the host and Internet governance level."

I don't know about the means, but it sounded to me like someone else had taken it over as well. That was quite a bit of attack power to leave idle for that long.
