Come on this is worth at least a million! There is a program called wormguard that runs on windows that suppose to stop worm infections. I haven't used it in a long time. Only $250 000?

To be honest, I'm surprised they haven't tried putting up a reward before (unless I missed it somewhere) for some of the nasty viruses that have wreaked havoc on MS systems. As far as what Clay says about the hacker probably not telling anyone "they" did this unless they were stupid, I beg to differ. The mentality of this type of individual, more often than not, will have posted, or emailed someone in "the community" about their latest "victory". As the owner of a local PC repair and upgrade biz since '99 having to deal with this tripe, I can tell you they like nothing better than to thumb their noses at MS at every opportunity, so I'm sure this one is probably no different. I've been to many "underground sites" trying to find the cure for this, that and the other virus/trojan and they all love to brag. Sad, but true. Thanks for sharing this article Jim.
