Hi

Recently my antivirus is popping up a box that it found a threat and it always point to some kind of image file in the Temporary Internet Files. I always select to move to vault but later the virus threat will pop up again. I did a bit of research on downadup since avg is reporting this worm and it seems that this is a form of the Conficker virus. I have downloaded the Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool since it claims that it removes this worm however, it is finding nothing wrong when it performs the scan.

Any suggestions pls ?

Thank you

Conflicker worms exploit a vulnerability in Server service..

Download and install this patch from Microsoft, the problem should go away:
