For instance, any time I receive a virus via e-mail (Pine is the *ULTIMATE* anti-virus, btw) I try to contact the person by phone or e-mail to let them know they've been infected and I usually send them the link at sarc.com that goes into detail about the virus. In this case, it'd be a LOT of work since this worm is so wide spread. You'd spend hours tracking down the admin e-mail addresses for each IP and so forth. Chances are if a sysadmin is infected, they already figured it out. -Brian
