Shavlik offers to find gaps and close them before the Downandup worm starts to cause real trouble.

Shavlik NetChk Health Check Helps You to Avoid Joining the Ranks of the Hacked
The Conficker/Downandup Worm has gained national and international attention as it continues to invade approximately 1 million PCs per day. While the Downandup worm may have already created havoc with the estimated 9 million PCs it’s infected, security experts still have no clear idea what the hackers plan to do with the collection of computers they've compromised, perhaps waiting to unleash the worm at a later date with an even greater vengeance.

A Special Offer from Shavlik Technologies Helps You Find Gaps and Close Them Before Hackers Find You
Shavlik is offering a free, non-intrusive health check to help customers protect themselves against infection by the Conficker/Downandup Worm. The health check will examine physical and virtual machines running Microsoft operating systems for the presence of patch MS08-067 which addresses a vulnerability in the Windows Server service that this worm exploits. In addition to performing a scan for this patch, the NetChk Health Check will also examine specific configuration settings that Microsoft and other security experts have recommended to minimize the risk of becoming infected.

Shavlik Simplifies Patch and Configuration Management So You Start Your Assessment Sooner and Protect Your Network Assets Faster
Shavlik’s solutions simplify patch and configuration management through automation, increased visibility, and control. It’s easy with Shavlik products to target the application to assess for specific patches and configuration settings, thereby speeding the assessment process and minimizing the impact on IT operations and the organization. The Shavlik solutions are automated, easy to implement, and easy to manage so you’ll be scanning your environment in a matter of minutes rather than days or weeks.

Shavlik’s industry-leading agentless technology ensures enterprise-wide detection, including systems that are not managed by Active Directory or virtual machines that are offline and dormant. By not having to deploy and manage agents, users of Shavlik solutions can start faster and finish sooner. And that is critical when time is of the essence as it is with the Conficker/Downandup Virus.
