BitDefender has released a cure for the Downadup/Conficker virus that has the title of the most dangerous virus on the Internet. What the virus does is it exploits a bug in the Windows Server service used by Windows 2000, XP, Vista, Server 2003 and Server 2008. It spreads primarily through a buffer overflow vulnerability in Windows Server Service where it disables the operating system update service, security center, including Windows Defender, and error reporting.

According to BitDefender:

BitDefender is the first to offer a free tool which disinfects all versions of Downadup and is available for all infected users at: http://bdtools.net This domain is the first to serve a removal tool without being blocked by the e-threat.

So if you’re in deep with this virus, you now have a way out.
