> In response to Conficker, a breed of self-updating worms that is  
> difficult to avoid, Researchers at eEye Digital Security  
> (www.eeye.com) have devised a Conficker detection engine that  
> centers on running a network scan to detect hosts compromised or  
> vulnerable to Conficker. In a proactive measure to protect users,  
> starting today, organizations can download from eEye a free utility  
> that is built around the company?s Retina Network Security Scanner t 
> hat will detect hosts that are compromised with this latest worm and 
>  malicious botnet or do not have MS08-067 applied, the most effectiv 
> e propagation technique that Conficker uses.

> The Retina Utility from eEye can be downloaded at: http://www.eeye.com/html/downloads/other/ConfickerScanner.html

> In addition to the detection of the Conficker worm, eEye Digital  
> Security's Blink Endpoint Protection Platform can effectively  
> protect hosts, even if they are not patched, from the propagation of  
> this worm. Using protocol based IPS analyzers, Blink can detect and  
> stop the malicious traffic associated with MS08-067 and block the  
> worm from self propagating. For installations that are already  
> infected, Blink's multi layer antivirus engine will remove the  
> Conficker worm and provide protection until a permanent remediation  
> is performed on the host.
