Question about Conficker...

Hey guys, I figured I’d ask this question here. Sorry if it’s in the wrong forum. Also, this is my first time posting here, so thanks ahead of time for any responses to this topic!

So, I’ve been reading up on this dreaded Conficker worm. I’ve run the latest MB, went to symantec’s website (which you’re not supposed to be able to access if you’re infected) to use their tool. They didn’t detect Conficker.C or .D on my machine. So, great, right?

Unfortunately, I’ve randomly been unable to get on www.microsoft.com and I can’t tell if this is random or what. I asked my friends to try and they’ve all been able to log on. There are 3 computers connected on our router and none of them are able to access microsoft.com either. But again, I’m able to access every other supposedly blocked site (McAfee, Symantec, etc) So, maybe I’m just being paranoid, but is it possible there’s another explanation for not being able to log on to microsoft.com when others can?

I’d really rather not have to reformat my computer tonight…

Anyway, anybody have anything on that? Much appreciated!
