Conficker Eye Chart

Conficker, also known as Downup, Downadup and Kido, is a computer worm targeting the Microsoft Windows operating system that was first detected in November 2008. This virus resets System Restore points and disables a number of system services such as Windows Automatic Update, Windows Security Center, Windows Defender and Windows Error Reporting.

How to removed it?

If the virus only invade your pc on this very moment, an ordinary System Restore might help you. Unless, it's already days or months and you didn't notice it, the restore will not take effect. You're going to use some third party antivirus to remove this one. Sample of it is Malwarebytes or Sophos.

How to restart your printer remotely

first of all, you need to prepare a reboot file:

%-12345X@PJL COMMENT
@PJL DMINFO ASCIIHEX="040006020501010301040105"
%-12345X

Copy this to a notepad and save it as: reboot.txt (actually, you can named it anything you want...tehee!)

Now, to make a connection using CMD command to the printer.

On CMD, type the path where the reboot.txt is. Since i put mine at desktop, it will looked like this:

c:\user\unit01\cd desktop
c:\user\unit01\desktop

then, type ftp. It will be looked like this one:

c:\user\unit01\cd desktop
c:\user\unit01\desktop
c:\user\unit01\desktop\ftp
ftp>

type open 192.168.*.*, where this is the IP of your printer. afterwards, it will be looking for your password:

c:\user\unit01\desktop\ftp
ftp>open 192.168.*.*

hit enter if you didn't have any password, until the ftp> appeared again. and lastly type:

 ftp> put c:\user\unit01\desktop\reboot.txt

hit enter and wait for the ftp> to show again. notice the printer that it will restart by itself.

type the word "bye" to exit from the ftp mode.

...and that's how to restart the printer remotely.

I tested it to our office printer (HP Laserjet 4315dtn) and it works like magic.
