Quick overview:
A worm called Conficker has recently been circulating. It uses infected PCs to spread. So far, around 2.5 million computers have been infected. Due to its ability to generate new code, it has not yet been possible to render the worm harmless.
"Conficker" uses a known security vulnerability in Windows to infect the computer. If you use the automatic update function of Windows, the corresponding security update has already been installed. To reliably remove the worm, Microsoft has updated the "Malicious Software Removal Tool" (MSRT).
Founded Windows Tweaks as a teenager in the 90s. His helpful PC tricks made it Germany's most visited Windows site (at the time Sandro looked like this). He then went on to write elsewhere, for example for PC-Praxis, Computer Bild and PCWorld in the USA. Microsoft also poached him from us. Now Sandro is back, finally sharing his tweaks here again. For a stress-free digital everyday life. You can reach Sandro via e-mail.
