Conficker, aka Downadup and Kido, is one of those nasty worms that sneaks into your PC by taking advantage of holes in Windows MS08-067. Conficker gets into your PC and then stops you from being able to visit anti-virus and anti-spyware websites. This of course makes it difficult for you to remove the infection. Conficker also has the uncanny ability to copy itself when you reboot your machine. One of the worse things that this horrible worm does is to spread itself to other PC’s over your network. Microsoft attacked this problem by releasing a patch to fix the Windows flaw. It is very important that you install this Microsoft patch and get critical updates. You should also run scans frequently with anti-spyware and anti-virus software that you can trust.

Kido, which is commonly known as Downadup and Conficker, is a horrifying worm that will enter your computer without you knowing it. Kido does this by exploiting weaknesses in Windows MS08-067. This malicious worm will cause serious damage to your PC. Kido is diabolical because it prevents you from visiting anti-virus and anti-spyware sites which could remove the infection. What makes Kido so fiendish and dangerous is that it can spread its infection to countless other PC’s over your network. When Microsoft became aware of this problem they began to release a patch to fix the weaknesses in Windows. Everyone, though, hasn’t installed the Microsoft patch, so Kido is still spreading like the bubonic plague. The most important thing that you can do is to install the Microsoft patch and pay careful attention to critical updates. You should also be scanning your PC with anti-virus and anti-spyware software that you can trust.
