It’s downloading updates, which security analysts suspect to be keyloggers or other code designed to steal information from infected machines.

To see if your machine is infected, go to

http://www.talkbiz.com/confickertest/

It’s an extremely simple test. Load the page and see if you get all 6 pictures. If you do, you’re unlikely to be infected. The explanation is VERY short, and included on the page.

Feel free to pass that URL around to anyone you like. The more people know if their systems are infected, the better.

If you find that you’re are likely to have the worm on your machine, immediately disconnect from the Internet. Find a machine that isn’t infected, and get a copy of Microsoft’s Malicious Software Removal Tool.

Do not reconnect to the Internet until you’ve run that on the infected machine.
