Conficker VIRUS PROBLEMS!! Everyone should check!!!

#1 Post by Rob »

Conficker removal instrucations:

1) First go to http://www.microsoft.com & http://www.symantec.com and see if those sites come up. IF THEY COME UP THEN SKIP TO STEP 7. If they do NOT come up then you have the infection – Proceed to step 2.
2) Click on Start
3) Click on Run
4) Type in CMD – hit enter – A black command window will open up.
5) Type in the following command in the black command prompt window: net stop dnscache
6) Download the removal tool from my website here (Symantec tool): http://robsnetworks.com/conficker%20rem ... tool/d.exe - Save this program to the desktop and run it. It should find the infection and remove it. Your computer will REBOOT. Proceed to step 7 after the computer reboots
7) Click on: Start
8) Click on: All Programs
9) Click on: Windows Update
10) Run ALL CRITICAL UPDATES.
11) Reboot the computer again an you should be good to go.
