Conficker Downadup Worm

The Conficker Downadup Worm is spreading like wild fire. According to Panda Security Software this worm has infected 6% of the scanned systems. Conficker Downadup Worm latched on to Windows system through an external USB drive or an MP3 Player. 

After infecting a system Conficker Downadup Worm starts a brute force attack on cracking passwords of internal networks. Like many other malwares it then uploads this data and may even download more malicious malwares.
