Conficker is a worm that spreads on Windows Platforms. This malware could spread Windows file shares protected with weak passwords or to which a logged on domain administrator has access, by copying itself to removable storage devices and by exploiting the MS08-067 Windows Server service vulnerability. This malware generates infections files to set up to run as a service and also using a random name when Windows starts under system32, and tries to modify permissions on the service registry entries so that they are not visible to the user. Such registry entries are under, 'HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SvcHost' and 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RANDOM_SERVICE_NAME' The plugin determines Conficker variants B or C.
