Well, I won't be looking at my old e-mail account anymore, and will be running daily antivirus/anti spyware scans daily. Plus, I'll only open e-mail from those I know.

You guys are both… IDK
Conficker does not spam to infect.
Whenn it targets you, it asks for your username in windows, then it tries a veritety of password to get into your computer. Nothing pam related to spreading. But it can't spread if your patched, however you can still be infected…
It also spreads if you plug in anything via usb.  Any computer that the usb stick plugs into alo gets infected. That eans usb hardrives also get infected. Any disks you burn get infected(I think).

Meaning that anyone could have it.

What's Safe mode? I never heard of it, and probably never used it.

Why must I be a know it all… here's what Wikipeida say. It's no point me explaining.

Safe mode usually refers to a diagnostic mode used by a computer operating system (OS). It can also refer to a mode of operation by application software. I use Safe Mode, when Windows isn't working properly. I haven't been in Safe Mode on my laptop yet as I've had no trouble with it.

If you connect a thumbdrive to a computer that has Conficker, can the worm get into the thumbdrive and spread to other computers?

Just like with almost EVERY OTHER VIRUS, yes.

I have no idea why everyone's freaking out about Conficker when there's far worse viruses lurking on the internet.

Does it have something to do with… THE MEDIA!?

I don't have that BitTool Remover anymore on my PC. What variant are you infected with?

I've gone through the list, and neither of them say which variant disables Anti-Virus. I'll try and and find the BitTool Remover. Is Auto Updates disabled?
