The short answer is YES

Hello bob3160, thankyou for reply, this information is very helpful.

strange as it is…this 3 year old worm is still creating problems
still lots of smart ones out there that does not patch ::slight_smile:

Although the malware clearly continues to be a significant issue, [b]researchers have not detected a new variant in years, [/b] [b]and Microsoft released a patch only weeks after Conficker was detected[/b].
