Any chance that OpenDNS can gather the "computer name" or "local IP address" (192.168.1.x...) that initiated the connection to the blocklisted Conficker domain? Lastly, any chance of upgrading this to "all" or "any" up/coming malware related domains...? Ala, Storm Worm, etc... I'm not sure how this all works on the backend, but if you got that domain tool running in the background, to "predict" bad domains that I was reading about, dump the domains constantly to the "malware" label (automatically voted as malware obviously...) - I'm sure the process could be adjusted to any later outbreak of bad domains too?

Reinstall your software, tweak your settings, and don't let it get infected again. Simple. After your software is reinstalled and pc is tweaked, then use imaging software to make a snapshot of it.
