| Conficker (aka Downadup, Kido) is known to block access
to over 100 anti-virus and security websites.
If you are blocked from loading the remote images in the
first row of the top table above (AV/security sites) but not
blocked from loading the remote images in the second row
(websites of alternative operating systems) then your
Windows PC may be infected by Conficker (or some other
malicious software).
If you can see all six images in both rows of the top
table, you are either not infected by Conficker, or you may
be using a proxy server, in which case you will not be able
to use this test to make an accurate determination, since
Conficker will be unable to block you from viewing the
AV/security sites. |
