Conficker, considered to be potentially one of the nastiest

worms to hit the Internet in quite a while, has finally woken

up. It’s downloading updates, which security analysts suspect

to be keyloggers or other code designed to steal information

from infected machines.

To see if your machine is infected, go to

Conficker Eye Chart

It’s an extremely simple test. Load the page and see if you get

all 6 pictures. If you do, you’re unlikely to be infected. The

explanation is VERY short, and included on the page.

Feel free to pass that URL around to anyone you like. The more

people know if their systems are infected, the better.

If you find that you’re are likely to have the worm on your

machine, immediately disconnect from the Internet. Find a

machine that isn’t infected, and get a copy of Microsoft’s

Malicious Software Removal Tool.

Do not reconnect to the Internet until you’ve run that on the

infected machine.
