your computer's patches are up to date (particularly the MS08-067 patch) and you have anti-virus installed and updated. Most individuals were never at much risk anyway since most of us run firewalls in addition to windows update and AV software. Also, IMHO I believe that the security software companies hyped up the conficker worm some. I would almost bet that if you looked at Symantec or McAfee's sales numbers for the past 30 days you would find that there was a nice little uptick!

That all said, we did have a BIG problem at work with one of the early variations of the conficker worm about a month ago. It was so bad that google blocked our IPs from accessing their website for a time and the domain controllers at work were blocking a lot of user accounts from accessing servers on the domain. This all happened because a handful of our several thousand Windows servers did not have the MS08-67 patch applied and/or did not have AV software running with updated definitions. It was quite interesting phenomenon to see!
