SANS ( http://www.sans.org/ ) is offering a $500 reward to the first
person who writes a windows exploit/virus that goes thru windows and
patches the common security/virus/worm exploits.  They are looking for
something that a business could e-mail to all of the winbloze lusers to
secure the systems without actually having to tell the users to do
anything except maybe open the e-mail.
