Answer» It's what different companies call it.
* Win32/Conficker.A (CA) <- http://www.ca.com/us/anti-virus.aspx * W32.Downadup (Symantec) Norton/Symantec * W32/Downadup.A (F-Secure) <- http://www.f-secure.com/en_EMEA/security/ * Conficker.A (Panda) <- http://www.pandasecurity.com/infected_or_not/us/
And so on. The same infection may have multiple names. Depends on what scanner you are using.I wish antivirus companies would use a better naming SYSTEM... it does *look* confusing to newer computer users. But, its usually easy to search for... still, I wish they would also use universal names so that solutions could be FOUND EASIER.
But, competition prevents this from happening.
