Ananke IT Solutions warns of a worldwide "computer worm" threat. Having infected nearly 12 million computers globally thus far, everyone is strongly urged to take proactive steps before the Conficker worm takes over your network and extracts vital personal, business, and financial information.

Conficker is a remotely-controlled worm spreading rapidly throughout the internet to millions of computers around the world. After it silently infiltrates your system, the worm steals personal information, such as emails and banking transactions from your computer and moves on to your network connections. Conficker takes advantage of vulnerable computers that have not recently had anti-virus updates and possess weak passwords. It then spreads throughout your network and through removable devices, such as USB drives.
