help! conficker virus!?

okay i took yahoos new test to see if i have the conficker virus and i kinda got some scary results. the test page pulled up quickly but it did not show the middle security website (secureworks.com). which means that i may have the conficker virus. but heres the thing, i can go to trend micros page (pulls up right away) and f secure. but secureworks will not pull up at all. what can i do to see if i really have this virus? i currently have ad aware anniversary edition and avira antivir (completely updated) and trend micro pc-cillin (out of date). do you think the conficker virus would still get through this? and how can i check to see if i do?

Update:

thanks guys, i wish there was something i could do, its seems that alot of people i work with are getting hit with this dang worm to.

Update 2:

i hope this is just some error on yahoos part, and not some worm/virus on our computers.

    Yea......I took the same test and I was on Yahoo Answers to find something to help. But anyway back to you. No I don't think you have the Conficker Worm cause the same thing happened to me. My results were the same. So I think your safe.........for now anyways.

    Edit. I tried the same test on my friend's Mac and it did the same thing. So I think your safe cause Macs are protected from the Conficker Virus. I hope you or I or anyone else don't have the Conficker Virus.

    I have been checking on a daily basis reports on the Conficker worm and this afternoon about 11 pm (mt) I read that the Conficker worm had hit in parts of Utah. I don't know where you are located but the reports were saying that Conficker hit Utah State University. I hope someone stops this Conficker soon;I'm in Arizona and I'm worried. sigh.

    Oh, get on Conficker Working Group.Net and click on the Eye Chart and see what that says.....Good Luck
