I *know* I'm using a lot more bandwidth on all the SoBig.F crap...but until it's ever feasible to punish folks who won't/can't patch their systems, I guess we're stuck with this crap, too.

The problem is that these new-age "viruses" aren't lethal enough - infected systems spew digital crap for years without themselves being affected.

What some helpful soul should do is wait a week after a new virus appears, so that everyone has plenty of time to patch against it, and then release a version of that exact virus that wipes out any infected system completely.
