Nifty "eye chart" that tells you if you are clear of the Conficker worm, or if you should take steps to remove it.

About the chart:

Read the instructions to understand how to interpret the results, and/or do any troubleshooting.

you know such a chart would work for many viruses. Many go after the ability to update virus defs. Though, the virus writers will just add the .gifs or links to in the payload in the future to avoid such easy detection.

really innovative, yet simple thinking though

I found a post that showed how to use NMAP to test the systems on your network. I did a full sweep on March 31st. No problems.

See when I was doing a similar job to yours I enjoyed the days of new vruses... in fact I prided myself on being the virus guy. It got to be routine and fun. I also raced Symantec and Mcafee to publish a fix, I beat them only once. Though I did report viruses they hadn't seen before a couple of times, wasn't smart enough to completely unravel those though.
