        Bah. MSNSecurity have been wittering about this one recently and trying to blame users for choosing weak passwords.

        Microsoft Notes Rise of Once-Dormant Conficker Virus

        "Conficker is one of the biggest security problems we face, yet it is well within our power to defend against,” explained Microsoft Trustworthy Computing director Tim Rains. "It is critically important that organizations focus on the security fundamentals to help protect against the most common threats."
        Well pull your finger out Microsoft!

            there are some sites with similar names that have viruses (I think one is contractuk). Check the spelling

                Had a try with my sacrificial XP/IE6 within a few minutes of the OP; didn't see anything unexpected going over the wire.
