If your enterprise manager is up to date it should delete conficker straight away. That might be why the standalone isn't finding it?

Yeah, my enterprise console is updating every hour, occasionally it doesn't but that is normally down to our proxy. maybe 0.001 % of the time it fails but catches it up on the next hour.

We had the same problem with our two Admin servers, the best tool we found to get rid of Conficker was the Microsoft Malcious Software Remover.

Download and run, do a full scan as well, takes a while but gets rid of it.

Also deploy it as well to your workstations, it takes a while at startup but gets rid of it.
