New Worm spreading

[mad1]

'Good' worm hits computers "

"The new so-called good worm, dubbed "Welchia" or "Nachi," is similar to Blaster, but it purports to patch the hole Blaster exploited to enter into computers in the first place and tries to clean up after Blaster if the computer is infected with it."

it would be better if it didnt' reboot the machine afterwards lol

although serves 'em right for not patching lol

(yes I'm kidding.... mostly)

can we look at this as sort of a linux way of patching things for windows?




very interesting worm i must say

[Christian-Comp]

Glinda asks Welchia 'Are you a good worm or a bad worm?' Welchia says that she is not a worm at all, announcing that worms are 'mean and ugly'. Glinda states that only bad worms are ugly.

But you killed the wicked worm of the west!

"A good worm... lol"

Worms were actually intentionally made to be good, like this worm that fixes what the blaster destroyed.
