The Conficker worm is a computer worm that can infect your computer and spread itself to other computers across a network automatically, without human interaction.
Microsoft released a security update in October 2008 (MS 08-067) to protect against Conficker.
If your computer is up-to-date with the latest security updates and your antivirus software is also up-to-date, you probably don’t have the Conficker worm.
