Conficker Virus - What to do?

If you suspect you have the Conficker virus / worm there are three things you must do. First, update your pc with the Microsoft patch to block the virus (it would be better to download all of the MS updates by using the Windows Update feature in Windows). Secondly, remove the virus. Lastly, it would be a good idea to run a complete virus and spyware scan of your system. Web addresses for each process are provided below. This virus is scheduled to unload on April 1st, 2009. If you need assistance, please let me know. I can be reached via my web page at http://www.georgephillipscomputerservices.com .
