Conficker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Some serious effort went into that creation!

German govt DUMPS 170 NEW PCs riddled with Conficker ? The Register

The German education ministry has binned new computers infected by the infamous Conficker worm - and bought replacements - rather than attempting to disinfect the machines.

It emerged this week that a grand total of 170 PCs and servers at German teacher training institutes in Schwerin, Rostock and Greifswald were dumped soon after they became infected with the notorious Windows worm in September 2010. The decision cost German taxpayers €187,300 (£158,291).

Simply cleaning up the malware would have cost €130,000 (£110,000), Heise reports, reflecting a cost difference of €57,000 (just over £48k). The bill, which also included data restoration costs, only emerged through a recently published audit report.
