Manual removal is hard. Some instructions are available here. Better way is to download the kiddo removal tools from another machine and run them.

Try downloading from cyber-cafe or from friends computer or using linux.
Remember that av providers also offer phone support. So you can always use that if you absolutely can’t figure out how to solve the problem.

Try this : ftp://193.110.109.53/anti-virus/tools/beta/f-downadup.zip
Among other things try :
i) Install all required patches from microsoft
ii) Update kaspersky and run it under Safe Mode.

Try using a proxy to access blocked security websites.
Just google for proxy sites ( https://proxy.org/ https://proximize.me/ , https://launchwebs.org are three secure proxy services).

are you sure you have conficker? if the tool says you are clean, maybe is something else. can you access any security vendors sites?

I have tried Symantec standalone tool.
but there was no use of that …..
I am not able to download from other antivirus websites.
when i am trying for that its redirecting me to my local host.

I would recomend to download and burn the BitDefender Rescue CD from here: http://download.bitdefender.com/rescue_cd/BitDefenderRescueCD_v2.0.0_16_03_2009.iso
After that insert the cd in your CD-Rom, restart your PC and boot from the it. You will then enter a Linux OS where you can scan and remove viruses with the bitdefender scanner.
You can find a tutorial on how to do this here: http://www.bitdefender.ro/KB417

I have all the symptoms of this worm, but when I tried the BitDefender tool, it didn’t work. It says that the scan was clean! What can I do now? I’m not really proficient with computers….
