Answer 2

Symantec has a conficker removal tool which I have tested and used. You can get it from following link: http://www.symantec.com/security%5Fresponse/writeup.jsp?docid=2009-011316-0247-99

• Get the Symantec tool and the patch from the Microsoft (security update 958644 (MS08-067)) on the infected machine and then remove the machine from the network. You may have to use an uninfected machine to download the tool and the patch as the worm tries to block access to AV vendor and Microsoft sites.
• Run the Symantec tool to remove the worm.
• After the conficker worm is removed, install the Microsoft windows patch.

This is important as the worm can infect the machine again if it remains on the network. Only after the patch is installed, should the machine be connected back to the network.

McAfee Avert Stinger for W32/Conficker will take care of it.
