Kido Description
Kido also known as Win32.Kido, Conficker Worm or W32.Downadup. Kido is a serious worm infection that is known to attack
Windows systems and spreads through networks due to a Windows security vulnerability called MS08-067. If a system does not
receive critical updates needed then it may be vulnerable to the Kido or Conficker worm infection. It is advised to run a Windows
Update and perform a system scan with a anti-virus or anti-malware software to identify and clean your computer from Kido.

What is Worms?
Kido is a type of Worms.
Worms are virus-like malware with destructive codes, and are able to mutate, replacing their own code by themselves. This
makes worms very dangerous, hard to find, and difficult to delete. Like most viruses, worms may spread to the other computers
by secretly emailing themselves to Internet users in your address book. The key difference between a worm and a virus is that
worms replace your files, rather than simply inserting themselves into your files.
