A new variant of the Conficker Internet worm is circulating that opens up a backdoor that could allow an attacker to distribute malware to infected machines, the US-CERT organization warned on Monday.
The new Conficker/Downadup worm, dubbed "Conficker B++," uses a new backdoor with "auto-update" functionality, CERT said in an advisory.
Microsoft says there is no indication that systems infected with previous variants of Conficker can automatically be re-infected with the new variant, CERT said. More at; http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-10170280-83.html?tag=mncol
