Is my computer infected with the Conficker worm?

Is my computer infected with the Conficker worm?
Probably not. 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.
If you are still worried about Conficker, follow these steps:
1. Go to http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=148275 to verify your settings and check for updates.
2. If you can't access http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=148275, go to http://safety.live.com/ and scan your system.
