My brother sent me an email with a very cool tool that will automatically detect if your computer is indeed infected with the Conficker Virus. Just go to this mcafee url (this is a safe and 100% secure url)
http://www.mcafee.com/us/local_content/downloads/conficker_detection_tool.zip
and then download the Conficker Detection Tool. Unarchive or unzip the detection tool to your desktop and then run the detection tool. Follow the attached screenshot to test your computer. If your result is “Not Infected” you are safe. However, if you are infected, please head on over to http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=AD724AE0-E72D-4F54-9AB3-75B8EB148356&displaylang=en to download the Malicious Software Removal Tool from Microsoft or have Microsoft scan and clean your computer at http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm?s_cid=sah with their Live OneCare Safety Scanner.
