How to Remove Confickr

News about Confickr has accelerated lately, seeing as how it has infected an estimated nine million machines, confounding security experts on how to handle one of the worst worm outbreaks in years.

Security officials said the situation is unique because worms weren’t considered as an effective way to make money in cybercrime, according to the article. However, the hackers behind the massive worm have devised an innovative way to spread the attack, making it hard to catch and quarantine. Instead of using spam emails, the worm initially attacked the Microsoft MS08-067 vulnerability in Windows, allowing it to infiltrate network security.

This allowed the worm to spread through open network shares, weak passwords and removable USB drives.

We recommend a reload of your Windows operating system as the best way to remove Conflickr and other worms and viruses.
