When the recent Conficker outbreak wreaked havoc upon Windows-based LANs in enterprises worldwide, CounterACT customers called in to let us know their networks were fully protected thanks to CounterACT.
Conficker (aka Downup, Downadup and Kido) is an aggressive worm that targets Windows-based systems. It’s been estimated that the bug infected over 10 million PCs in just a few short weeks (over a million in a single 24-hour period) … making it one of the most prolific, dangerous and widespread infections in recent times.
Anyone using a Windows-based system was cautioned to verify that their system was free of the Conficker worm and was running the latest, patched version of Microsoft Windows: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/962007
CounterACT users, of course, had the peace of mind that their systems were automatically protected: read the Tech Note or view the webinar to learn why.
