Saying that it's easy to remove or that all you need to do is run Windows Update misses the point, which is that a vast majority of people won't bother to remove it, and a vast majority of those not yet infected probably haven't bothered to run Windows Update to patch the vulnerability.
Not to mention the vast number of machines running a pirate version of Windows that MicroSoft will not allow to be updated...
Certainly this is a small issue in the Western world, but in other lands the risk is much greater.
Besides that- I think my brain is infected- everytime I see the word 'Conficker' it gets read in as 'Cornflicker'.
