Well, the weak spot isn't Firefox, it's Java, technically. And realistically the weak spot is a combo of: User+Firefox+Java. But jumping back to the theory: if Firefox is the installer, then it will only go into user space. Disable the virus by logging out. And since there are so many more servers int he world than desktops: no server in the world would be effected by this, given the required User+Firefox+Java combo, since: 1) no server would be logged in and running firefox on malicious websites (unless admin doesn't know any better...). 2) java (like any app) isn't installed unless it's required (unless admin doesn't know any better....)

If you're deemed unworthy and internet privileges revoked... how does one get the required updates and patches to get back online? I presume they - the ISPs - would allow you access to certain websites like windows update or mcafee patch central (whatever it's called) - so how do you get on the list of allowed sites? who controls that list?
