In an earlier slashdot article (http://slashdot.org/articles/01/01/18/0141232_F.s html) a text was mentioned that describes the early WANK worms, and, at the least, implies that a worm killing worm has (successfully) implemented, and was (I think) only the third worm ever widely released (preceeded by father christmas and the first WANK worm...).
Anyway, here's a snippet from the text: "It was also designed to hunt down and kill the decoy-duck program. In fact, the SPAN network was going to turn into a rather bloody battlefield. This worm didn't just kill the decoy, it also killed any other copy of the WANK worm. "
