There is a report of a new variant of the Conficker/Downadup worm named Win32/Conficker.D. which infects the local computer, terminates services, blocks access to numerous security related Web sites and downloads arbitrary code. Conficker.D can relay command instructions to other Conficker.D infected computers via built-in peer-to-peer (P2P) communication. This variant does not spread to removable drives or shared folders across a network (as with previous variants). There is also a report that spread and execution of this worm may be triggered today, April 1, 2009. So be very cautious in the way we carry out all our Internet-related activities especially today.
