simple as that, i want to know who has or has had the conficker.c worm now that it's hit zero-day.
i suppose i was lucky, as the "experts" say that 35 million computers and web-servers have been infected, mostly in asia and europe.
one way to check to see if you have it is to run windows update. if you can't install an update, chances are that you have it.


Detection tool!

DON'T GOOGLE SEARCH FOR CONFICKER!

ah, but did it allow you to install or did you even try?
conficker.c doesn't affect your ability to check for updates, just to apply them.
 
i updated 2 options the driver for my acer screen would that count?

ouch... you might have it.
run a system scan with an antivirus program, most of the big names have a definition for conficker.a, conficker.b, and conficker.c in their databases.
