Guest mosquito_hippy Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Hi Appears to me that the information about the conficker family of virus is incomplete because despite i followed all the suggestion i found in the Microsoft Pages it continue appearing in a couple of my servers. It's not enogh to use a updated removal tool and patch the system to prevent this virus? Quote

You need to do this on all your workstations too or all the machines on the network will just get reinfected immediately.
