It's funny. The worm waited and infected so many computers just that 2 days, ONLY 2 DAY! from it's activation the white hats find the vulnerability in it and start removing xD

beware of "removal apps" if they are not from well known AV companies....because the Conficker paranoia is used to spread new malware with "removal apps" too....

spreading malware I am sure increased during this period. I even got emails from friends trying to link me to a site to 'clean' my computer, and a few were actually useless or pay-to-remove.
