Press Release:http://www.eeye.com/html/company/press/PR20090331.html
In response to Conficker, a breed of self-updating worms that is
difficult to avoid, Researchers at eEye Digital Security
(www.eeye.com) have devised a Conficker detection engine that
centers on running a network scan to detect hosts compromised or
vulnerable to Conficker. In a proactive measure to protect users,
starting today, organizations can download from eEye a free utility
that is built around the company’s Retina Network Security Scanner t
hat will detect hosts that are compromised with this latest worm and
malicious botnet or do not have MS08-067 applied, the most effectiv
e propagation technique that Conficker uses.
The Retina Utility from eEye can be downloaded at:

In addition to the detection of the Conficker worm, eEye Digital
Security's Blink Endpoint Protection Platform can effectively
protect hosts, even if they are not patched, from the propagation of
this worm. Using protocol based IPS analyzers, Blink can detect and
stop the malicious traffic associated with MS08-067 and block the
worm from self propagating. For installations that are already
infected, Blink's multi layer antivirus engine will remove the
Conficker worm and provide protection until a permanent remediation
is performed on the host.
Take advantage of other eEye Downloads:
Evaluation versions are available for the following eEye products:
- Blink Professional Edition
- Retina Network Security Scanner
- SecureIIS Web Server Security
- Iris Network Traffic Analyzer
