Win32/Conficker.B/Downadup infections

2 Comments

In short: make sure your system is patched for MS08-067 – use Windows Update to help you.

—————————————————————————

Abstract
Based on feedback Microsoft are concerned about the rise in reported infections due to the worm Win32/Conficker.B also known as “Downadup.” Though systems which have already applied the out-of-band released MS08-067 in October 2008 are protected, unpatched system user have experienced system lockout and other problems.

Last week, Microsoft released a version of the Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT) that can help remove variants of Win32/Conficker and other resources.

Background
Win32/Conficker.B exploits a vulnerability in the Windows Server service (SVCHOST.EXE) for Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, and Windows 2008. While Microsoft addressed this issue in October with Microsoft Security Bulletin MS08-067, and Forefront antivirus and OneCare (as well as other vendor’s antivirus products) helped protect against infections, many systems that have not been patched manually through Server Update Services and Microsoft/Windows Update or through Automatic Updates have recently come under attack by this worm. Attacked systems may lock out users, disable our update services and block access to security-related Web sites:

In response to this threat, Microsoft has:

  • Updated the January version of the MSFT to detect and remove variants of Win32/Conficker.B. You can download this version from the MSRT from either the Microsoft Update site or through its associated Knowledge Base article (see next bullet point)
  • Created the KB article 962007 “Virus alert about the Win32/Conficker.B worm” to provide public details on the symptoms and removal methods available to address this issue.
  • Announced the release of the items and the virus threat itself on the Microsoft Malware Protection Center blog.

It is Microsoft’s hope that these resources can assist you in resolving issues with unpatched, infected systems and that you can apply MS08-067 to any other unpatched systems as soon as possible to avoid this threat.

Call For Speakers: DDD Ireland “ah go on!”

2 Comments

After Galway last year we’re taking DDD to Belfast this year and you can be involved.

The call for speakers is open and awaiting your submissions. Like all DDD events there here will be NO Microsoft speakers presenting, just speakers from the [.NET] developer community; although we will have many of the Irish Developer Platform Evangelists (DPEs) on hand to help out and chat to attendees.

The day is put together by the community for the community, in other words you. We thank our sponsors who have helped make the event possible: Microsoft have graciously sponsored the event! The event is free to attend and will be held on Saturday 4th April so you don’t even need to take time off work.

Do you have the urge to present? Then register and submit a session. Not sure about your presentation skills, but would like to suggest something you’d like to see then you can submit your suggestions using the new for 2009 Request a Session page! Somewhere in between? Drop me an email, I’m sure we can find a seasoned speaker to act as a mentor – this could be your first big break! (my e-mail address is over to the right-hand side of this blog!)

We’d love to have speakers from the island join us again, ah go on, ah go on, ah go on go on go on…

The call for speakers and sessions runs from the 12th of January until the 2th February. The community can then vote on the suggested sessions from the 3rd February until the 2nd of March with the conference itself taking place somewhere in Belfast on Saturday 4th April. The venue is still to be confirmed, but the date and the event are set in stone!

Submit your session via the DeveloperDeveloperDeveloper Belfast web-site!
