OpenDNS

Attention to all system admin out there!

Conficker a.k.a. Downadup Virus is invading your network and what do you do to stop it? Follow this advice: change your DNS server, use OpenDNS server instead (more info). It's free, reliable, smarter, and faster. You boost your network performance at the same time as well. So, whatever ISP that you subscribe to, change the DNS server configuration (it's just a matter of changing ur dns server ip address - instruction here). Read this:

"The latest variant of Conficker is now churning through 50,000 domains per day in an attempt to thwart blocking attempts. Consider this: at any given time we(OpenDNS) have filters that hold well over 1,000,000 domains (when you combine our phishing and domain tagging filters). 50,000 domains a day isn’t going to rock the boat." source: http://blog.opendns.com.

Get going!
