Conficker worm gets an evil twin

[Frands]

Hi,

FYI

I'm very sorry to tell it ,but there is a new variant of the Conficker worm in the wild. It was spotted few days ago by SRI International researchers.

The new variant, dubbed Conficker B++, was spotted three days ago by SRI International researchers, who published details of the new code on Thursday. To the untrained eye, the new variant looks almost identical to the previous version of the worm, Conficker B. But the B++ variant uses new techniques to download software, giving its creators more flexibility in what they can do with infected machines.
