We blogged about the Conficker Virus back in October of 2008 and then again in March of 2009.
It was feared that Conficker was programmed to become active on April 1st, potentially causing problems across millions of PC’s. While this date passed with no noticeable impact, many sites across the web are reporting that Conficker is still a threat and in many cases causing problems. Yahoo reports that Conficker is being used to install additional software, hijacking PC’s to send out SPAM email. ZDNet reports Conficker installs malware that masquerades as AntiVirus Software.
Network Velocity has many strategies to protect client systems from these threats. For more information please contact us.
