Never heard of this worm, WinAndLinuxTutorials is missing information. Doing some search... Looks like a nasty piece of malware.

It's the Media's fault for over-hyping Conficker, most people believed it was fake and thought nothing of it as malware.

Its been three years already? Wow. I remember when this worm first came out.... cleaned about 6 friends/family PCs because of it.
