Strange, isn't it? A virus with good intentions.... Why remove it? :ermm:

That's how anti virus companies should operate all the time, everytime a worm is released they release their own counter worm... Pretty neet...

I don't if a virus that patches your system with wrong language patches can be 'good' (on 4:1 odds, if your WinXP version is ENU, CHT, CHS or KOR, if not then your WinXP will be always wrongly patched).

I had to reinstall Windows some time ago by installing a critical patch that was from another language. It messed up my whole internet connection...

It looks like it detects the languauge you're using, and downloads the proper patch (look at the "Downloading of Patches" section in the description).

This worm is actually a pretty cool idea IMO.

It's a pretty cool idea, but still viral. It still propogates, causing network congestion etc

Uhm, it just says "The worm attempts to download and install one of these patches on the victim machine.". Unfortunately none of them corresponds to my WinXP languaje (SPA)

Symptoms:
- Large volumes of ICMP traffic in network

You call that a good thing?
