Nobody knows yet the symptoms as that virus has not been activated yet. And it's not the typical kind of virus, but rather some kind of worm that makes your infected PC part of a botnet.
Specialists are trying to figure what the activated botnet may/will do, but so far as news tell, they don't know yet.
But the infection itself is easy to identify with any anti-virus software that has been updated in 2009. Conficker makes use of an exploit in Windows that has been fixed by M$ at about October 2008 already. So its more likely a problem with PCs in companies that don't regularly update their OS
