Our F-Downadup Removal Tool was updated on the 19th.

If you are working to disinfect the Downadup worm from your network, check that you have the most recent version of F-Downadup. You can compare the modification dates from our FTP server.

Our Worm:W32/Downadup.gen description is a good index of Downadup info.

Links have been added recently, such as one to Microsoft's Knowledge Base Article 962007. The KB article include numerous details on manual disinfection. The Microsoft MSRT application was updated to scan for Downadup (alias Conficker) this month.

One important note: Downadup disables Automatic Updates, so updated versions of MSRT will need to be downloaded manually, it will not be automatically installed on infected machines.

The team members developing F-Downadup have also updated our scanning and removal engines. Internet Security 2009 and Client Security 8 (among others) utilize updateable engine architecture.

And that brings us to…

Tomi, from our Customer Involvement Team, would like to point out that the latest version of ISTP (9.10 build 129) was released on January 14th. ISTP receives signature and engine updates from our beta update channel. So, the ISTP engine architecture will use our latest removal engine, which was released to beta today.

If you would like to try ISTP, you'll find more information from here. ISTP feedback enrolls users into prize giveaways.

We recently received another batch of our very popular laptop stickers, so as a bonus, we'll pass along a stack to Tomi. On 20/01/09 At 03:14 PM
