One way to finish off virus's forever!
STOP PUTTING NEWS ARTICLES ABOUT IT!
why do you think these programmers go out and create code that purposly hurts other systems?

1) Get their name in the news. (handle)
2) See if how long it takes to catch them

If this kind of news only stayed in the underground circles then there would be less virus code out there.

The Underground circles are mostly white hat hackers / programmers. Only the ones who want fame at the expense of others are black hat hackers /programmers... and more over most of them do not have a full time programming job and think this is one way to get it.
