It will allow anything with the word "Conflicker"
It baulks at the word "Conficker" :-)
Actually, from what I have read, simply "confick" will annoy it.
I don't think any *cleaner* will run successfully against an infected
system. I certainly wouldn't trust anything less than booting from the
likes of ERD Commander and running from there without the malware being
active.

Interesting... I have heard many places that Conflicker won't allow any
executables with the word 'Conflicker' in them to run. You have to
rename them to something else...
I am surprised eSet named the removal tool EConfickerRemover.exe
I wonder if they are the only vendor that did this? I like to think
they have tested this... So perhaps I am wrong. But why take the chance
and name it that?
Ramblings...

FYI - eEye has a free conflicker scanner:
"Conficker Worm Free Scanner
This free scanner is designed to identify infected hosts remotely
and anonymously without causing any disruption in business
