The Conficker worm may have infected more machines than originally thought, according to PC World. If the worm is successfully exploited, it could give hackers easy access to your system by allowing remote code execution when file sharing is enabled.
McAfee has developed a Conficker detection tool that you can use to quickly identify infected systems and machines. If you find infected machines, you should patch and reboot them to clean the system. Once clean, the machines should be rebooted again to prevent reinfection.
