Scan all files Since Conficker uses random extension names to avoid detection, Windows users should make sure their security software is set to scan all files, rather than checking on specific extensions.
Update Windows The alarmingly high number of Conficker infections led Microsoft last Tuesday to enable its anti-malware utility, Microsoft Software Removal Tool (MSRT), to detect the worm.
