One small nit: MD6 is a hashing algorithm, not an encryption algorithm. MD6 does not encrypt anything itself, it produces a short signature of its input. Two inputs that hash to the same value are extremely likely to be the same inputs (multiple inputs exist that will hash to the same value, but if the hash is secure, it is not possible to purposely create another input that hashes to a specific output value). Hashes are used to guarantee the payload has not been modified. Conficker probably uses MD6 to verify its updates, but encrypting the traffic would be done by something else.
