Re: Conficker begins stealthy update

we got done today

brought the whole network to a standstill at login as it polled the core routers. ran the lastest patch and scans only out yesterday. could of been avoided if somebody hadnt gone home after spotting it yesterday

cant say where it is of course but not the sort of place you want computers freezing.

i have tools to delete this now, its pretty hardcore yes
