You're not keeping your log files? Half the point of having a firewall is that 
it logs all the traffic so you can later review what has happened during some 
given time frame......

Conficker is not as easy to detect as other viruses as much of the traffic it 
generates is legal traffic. The virus also is idle if the machine is.

Bitdefender is however a free tool that is able to detect and remove the virus 
quite quickly compared to full AV-solutions where a full scan takes ages.

Thank you for your response. Sorry I should have mentioned there is a
delay in receiving these messages and by the time we do we no longer have
the log files for the time in the notices as they have been cleared.
Ideally I would like to use whatever they are to detect the botnet
activity. I have tried contacting my ISP but have not been successful.

Since they give you the source port, do a search through your looks for
an "XlateSPort" match that fits the time frame.
