The current name of the file is Conficker Removal Tool Next visit the following link and download the KB958644/MS08-067 security patch for your particular Windows operating systemMS08-067 Patch Download Link Look through the list and click on the link that corresponds to the version of Windows that is running on the infected machine. Then download the file from the page that opens and save it your desktop. Now copy and the Windows patch file to a floppy, CD, or USB drive so we can copy it to the infected PC. Once the files are stored on a removable device, copy it back onto your infected PC's Windows desktop. Once the Windows patch and file are on your infected computer's desktop, you will need to first install the Windows patch. Simply double-click on the file that you downloaded from Microsoft's web site and follow the prompts to install the patch. This will make it so your computer does not become reinfected again after we clean the current infection. If the patch is already installed, the Microsoft patch will detect that and not reinstall it. Now we need to extract the files from the You can do this by right-clicking on the and then selecting the Extract All... menu option as shown in the image below. At the next screen, keep clicking the Next button until you see a screen similar to the one below. Now that the file has finished being extracted, click on the Finish button. A folder will open containing two files. These files are named and Please double-click on the file to start the program. When you run this program, Windows may display a warning similar to the image shown below. If you receive this warning, please click on the Run button to continue starting Anti-Downadup on your computer. If you did not receive this warning, then Anti-Downadup should have started and you can proceed to step 9. You will now see a screen prompting you to start the scan or close the program. Please click on the Start button to have the program scan your computer and remove any Downadup and Conficker infections on your computer. Anti-Downadup will now start to scan your computer and determine if you are infected as shown below. This process can take 10 minutes, so please be patient. When it is done, if your computer is clean it will tell you so and you can close the program. Otherwise, continue with the rest of the steps. When Anti-Downadup has finished scanning your computer it will prompt you to reboot your computer in order to finish the cleaning process. Press Yes button to allow the infected computer to be rebooted. If you do not reboot your computer, you will be left with a blue screen as Explorer was terminated during the cleaning process. When the computer has finished rebooting you should no longer have the Conficker or Downadup infections on your computer. To see a log of what was deleted you can open the C\ file in Notepad. Though the infection is now removed from your computer, we need to make sure you do not get infected again. As you should have already installed the Windows patch, you will not be able to be infected again via the MS08-067 exploit . This infection, though, does infect you through network shares and removable devices as well. So please examine your computer for any network shares and disable any that are not necessary to have open. The next step is to disable Autorun on your computer. Autorun is a feature that allows executables to automatically run when you insert removable media such as a CD/DVD, Flash Drive, or other USB device. Having Autorun enabled is a security risk due to a fact that a virus can spread through the use of removable media. For example, if you had used your flash drive on a computer infected with a removable media worm, then your flash drive will become infected. Then when you use that infected flash drive on a computer that has Autorun enabled, the infection will automatically run and infect the new computer. As you can see, disabling Autorun is an important step to security your computer. Please note that if you disable this feature, then any time you insert a removable media, including a CD or DVD, they will not automatically open or start. Instead you will need to open My Computer and right click on the specific drive and select Explore or Play in order to access the contents of the media. If you would prefer security over convenience then please download the following file and save it on your desktop download link Once the file is downloaded, simply double-click on it. When Windows asks if you would like to merge the data, click on the Yes button. Now that Autorun is disabled, reboot your computer to make the setting effective. Congratulations! Your computer should now be free of the Downadup and Conficker program and you will no longer be vulnerable to infection from this malware.
