  4. Since Conficker blocks most removal tools, scanners, etc etc
    i think antiviruses and such may need to begin to randomize
    thier all thier own names to bypass those blocks.

    And also, people must stop rewarding Microsoft for thier
    worthless Windows by actually paying for it.
    Either upgrade to Linux or just stop paying for Windows
    until Microsoft actually fixes thier security.
