This just came in: you can scan a network to detect confiker infections due to the way confiker patched the vulnerability.
First and foremost, there is not reason to panic. Confiker will start on April first to scan for C&C command servers and try to download content. Nothing more, nothing less. There may be content on servers, but this is not necessary. It might be that content is pushed on the 14th of april, or the 30 of june, nobody else than the confiker authors know. What is important however is to get rid of your infected machines before this happens.
