Hi, Everyone!
I've just read about this worm at Symantec site....
Could this be considered a "well-intended" virus?!?!
OK, it does some damage..... like installing a small web server and overwriting html files for a screwed up page....
But after all, it does install some fixes and tries to remove the worms MyDoom.A and MyDoom.B!!
OK, no one can go into a PC and install anything without permission! That's not my point.
My point is that I've never seen a worm doing this kind of stuff! Ok, I have only 3 years of experience, but in my particular experience I've never seen a worm trying to apply patches and removing other bugs!! Has anyone? What do you think about it?
It has happened in the past. One of BIND's big bugs has a worm going around the internet exploiting vulnerable nameservers. Shortly thereafter a worm was released that seeked out vulnerable servers and tried to patch them.
