I recovered from the flu! Then after catching up following a weeks quarantine Conficker came to play.

On the Friday, the network came down.

By the following Thursday, core services were restored. So about a week.

Still a few bits left but now I am back to another week of catching up as our reports couldn't be filled in or analysed by admin staff. On the plus side, I could tinker with Remote Desktop to monitor the servers and had lots of experience cleaning up a virus outbreak while helping the tech team.

Nasty little thing Conficker. I'll post a removal guide later as my break is just ending.
