Sure, it won't happen in 30 minutes, but, I don't understand why this wasn't started when F-Secure first noticed the situation.
I seriously doubt that most (any?) ISP would be willing to accept the legal liability for altering anything on the computer of a third party that just happened to connect to an IP in a netblock they are responsible for. White worms are an elegant engineering concept, but have little practical value (and huge risk) outside of networks that you control directly. Doug -- "You're walkin' the wire, pain and desire.
