Windows 7 RC/Release - Conficker Patch Checks
I'm running RC, ran the beta as well. My companys VPN software checks for the Conficker patch. With Windows 7 RC, there is no patch available. TheVPN software is denying me access and locking my account.I'm assuming7 isprepatched/coded. With beta, there was a patch that could be installed.Am I completely missing something? I'm not finding any information on the conficker patch status of RC/Release.

I would assume that win7 does not have the patch already installed, however, I have no clue if it is or if it isn't... The Conficker worm uses the server service to get in, if you don't use it, you can always disable it (although it runs file and print sharing over intranet, so I doubt you can disable it) Here is the patch for XP: http://www.tinyurl.com/958644 Patch for Vista: http://www.tinyurl.com/vista958644 MS bulletin where you can download the patches for 2000, XP, Vista, Server 2003, 2008, and the 64-bit versions. http://www.tinyurl.com/msb08-067 However I don't see a win7 or server 2008 r2 patch, but I wonder if the Vista patch will work?

Note: To see the links I am leading you to, use "preview.tinyurl.com" instead of the normal url.Hello!

I'm not worried about being infected (Conficker on Vista+), my problem is the current VPN software looks for a conficker patch when there isn't one.I tried installing all of the above patches and got the 'not for this os' error. I can't get on the VPN and I get locked out immediately.I'm trying to determine if MS really didn't put the Conficker patch on an OS that was released after the scare or if I can tell the company to mod there checks.Just need some kind of real guidance =)Thanks!

Jay, did you ever find a fix for this? I have the same problem, using Windows 7 with Cisco AnyConnect, and it thinks I'm not patched for Conficker and won't let me connect. Thanks, Joe
