Judging by the complexity of this virus and the time it would take to create it, why rule out the possibility it’s a group of people? After all, from what I’ve seen, it’s impossible to get rid of thus far, and has infect many ‘major’ areas, such as the German Bundeswher and the UK Ministry of Defense.

If they do want to crash computers worldwide, why not do it now? 20 million would fall. Instead they’re biding their time, like they were waiting for something. Maybe they’re waiting for it to infect other Governmental computer networks? Maybe they plan to take the world in their hands by controlling all they can? Who knows? Knowing there has been Conficker.A, Conficker.B, and Conficker.C, How long until it evolves to Conficker.D? Also, A theory has popped up that the creator is possibly in Germany, since it seems to be a combination of the word CONfigure and FICKEn (or the F word in German). Hm…..

Just some theories.
