-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Well, most times an exploits gets into the wild before a patch. Now a lot of machine can be infected, and even patching take up some time. What should the your security expert, sysadmin, whoever the poor sods are, DO with those oddballs which got a counter worm. Wait for a counter-counter-patch, reinstall everything, try to remove the greenie manually. Whatever it is it takes up time and resources which in the end equals money! It's not going to make living easier for admins if smearcases start to release counter-virii in to the wild. In my book a virus is a virus is a virus is A BAD THING (tm) ! And if I happen to find the originator I'd probably be inclined to tie up his or her resources, preferably to some convenient 200ft cliff, where the RN runs target practice! Sorry, I'm very _strongly_ against it.

I strongly recoment the future writing of similar anti-worm worms.
