As of 10:00AM ET, reports are coming in the Conflicker infected hosts are calling out but are unable to reach the servers they are programmed for. This may be deliberate because every major security operation on the planet is watching for any activity and agencies are prepared to shut down any domain that shows activity. It may well be that the "owners" may lay low for a while, waiting for the level of scrutiny to drop.
I scanned all my machines a couple days ago and came up empty. I assume that means I have nothing to worry about?
