Will SB be updated to kill Conficker before 1 April?
Hello alternety,

Hi alternety,
For your information: Is the joke on us .. ??? (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=47067).
I think, Spybot updates will be released like every week, that means 12:00 - 15:00 o'clock (European Time).

I have looked at everything the responses pointed at. Many before the posts in this thread. In not one of the suggestions have I found an explicit method to fix this problem. Anyone out there that does not get off on playing around by referencing long lists of useless info for perusal, and would actually be willing to definitively answer the question. Or provide a workable alternative.

I hardly think that Microsoft is giving useless information. :p:

Help Protect Windows from Conficker (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/dd452420.aspx)
What Happens on April 1, 2009?
Systems infected with the latest version of Conficker will begin to use a new algorithm to determine what domains to contact. Microsoft has not identified any other actions scheduled to take place on April 1, 2009. It is possible that systems with the latest version of Conficker may be updated with a newer version of Conficker on April 1 by contacting domains on the new domain list. However, these systems could be updated on any date before or after April 1 as well using the “peer-to-peer” updating channel in the latest version of Conficker.

Are you asking because you believe your PC is already infected by Conficker? If so, how are you making this determination?
