Can good worms solve the Conficker problem?
I like the idea in theory but then you are doubling worm traffic due to the good guys fighting the bad guys. One way around that is to have a worm kill switch to kill it once all the bad worms are gone. The good worm is still violating laws by unauthorized access to computers, its a noble effort though.
