Sophos Conficker Cleanup Tool (standalone computer) v1.3

Sophos Conficker Cleanup Tool allows you to remove the Conficker/Downadup worm. The Conficker/Downadup worm, which first surfaced in November 2008, has infected thousands of business networks. Unpatched computers are still at risk of infection, as it spreads by exploiting these computers, weak passwords and USB storage devices. This powerful solution for eliminating Conficker infections enables the detection, isolation, and removal of the Conficker virus on your network.

To prevent infection, Sophos recommends

• Apply the MS08-67 patch
• Disable file and print sharing
• Strengthen your password
• Turn off autorun for USB devices
• Apply a device control policy
• Finally, you should use network access control (NAC) to check that patches, anti-virus and firewall are installed, running and up-to-date.
