From: "Geo." 

If you want to write something, write wormkillers. A program that sits and
waits to get poked by a worm then connects back to the worm (all the recent
worms leave the box exposed) and sends a popup message X number of times
(once per minute?) then uses netsh to set the IP address of the box to
something unroutable like 10.0.0.10

The world could use less spammer trojaned boxes.
