Norton 360 3.0

Conficker, also known as Downup, Downadup and Kido, is a computer worm that surfaced in October 2008 and targets the Microsoft Windows operating system. The worm exploits a previously patched vulnerability in the Windows Server service used by Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7 Beta, and Windows Server 2008 R2 Beta. The worm has been unusually difficult for network operators and law enforcement to counter because of its combined use of advanced malware techniques. source.

One of the reasons for infecting so many machines is that Conficker uses multiple infection vectors:
1. It exploits the MS08-067 vulnerability,
2. It brute forces Administrator passwords on local networks and spreads through ADMIN$ shares and finally
3. It infects removable devices and network shares by creating a special autorun.inf file and dropping its own DLL on the device. source.

Don’t be dumb, keep your PC updated.

Hunting hackers
Don Jackson is a hacker hunter. He is director of threat intelligence at SecureWorks in Atlanta, which protects corporations against cyber-attacks and tracks the hackers who launch them.

He says many Russian hackers are in cyber-gangs that display fascist symbols, like a Swastika and anti-American artwork. They boast about all the dollars they’ve stolen from the rich Americans. A single hacker can make $30,000 a month and be championed in local newspapers. source.
