Hi

Appears to me that the information about the conficker family of virus is
incomplete because despite i followed all the suggestion i found in the
Microsoft Pages it continue appearing in a couple of my servers.

It's not enogh to use a updated removal tool and patch the system to prevent
this virus?

Flatten the servers, apply your images (didn't make images? do so next
time), patch completely before bringing back on line. You need to do this
on all your workstations too or all the machines on the network will just
get reinfected immediately.

Thanks for answering

But if a format and reinstall the server, would be still risk for the server
comming from the stations?

With Conficker (and other network-aware worms), absolutely.
