it is also interesting that a virus writer can find a way to silently install 
patches without requiring a reboot but Microsoft can't.  If Microsoft's updates 
installed so effortlessly, there would be a lot fewer problems.

I'd never willingly allow this or a similar ilk into my network. But I
find the concept amusing. Imagine if every time someone released a
virus, someone else wrote a worm that hunts it down, kills the virus,
patches the machine, and then uninstalls itself.
