Learn How to Remove Conficker Virus / Downadup Virus without any Anti-Virus
Conficker, also known as Downup, Downadup and Kido, is a computer worm targeting the Microsoft Windows operating system that was first detected in November 2008. The worm uses a combination of advanced malware techniques which has made it difficult to counter, and has since spread rapidly into what is now believed to be the largest computer worm infection since the 2003 SQL Slammer.
To start itself at system boot, the worm saves a copy of its DLL form to a random filename in the Windows system folder, then adds registry keys to have svchost.exe invoke that DLL as an invisible network service.
Once infected, it disables Windows Automatic Update, Windows Security Center, Windows Defender, Windows Error Reporting and installs more malware in your computer. It also collects personal information and attach to several processes like svchost.exe, explorer.exe and services.exe.
So, How to Remove this Virus?
1.) Right-click the Explorer.exe process and choose the option “Properties”.
2.) Click on the “Threads” Tab, locate and highlight the Conficker DLL files listed below.
