One of the purposes of this toolkit is to be able to scan/repair an infected system from viruses, trojans, and malware. As such, one of the tools included is ClamWin Portable.
The good news is that ClamWin Portable is capable of detecting and removing the Conficker worm that is supposed to become active April 1st, 2009.
ClamAV detects Downadup, also known as Conficker, as Worm.Downadup. Once on a system it downloads components that ClamAV detects as members of the Trojan.Downloader- family of signatures.
A few things to note
- The worm spreads through USB drives, as well as ad-hoc networks and other means. If using the toolkit on an infected system, make sure to scan the USB drive containing the toolkit as well.
- If using ClamWin for the first time, the latest virus database will need to be downloaded. The Conficker worm blocks many programs, possibly including ClamWin from updating. If you have not updated or run ClamWin Portable, it is recommended that you run it on a clean system and obtain the latest virus definitions before scanning and repairing an infected system.
