Why use a worm for this? If the over all concern is that users do not upload patches in a timely manner and as a result blackhat worms muck up their computers, why not make a more mandatory update system. I've seen the P2P comments flash by over and over again as well as comments on how Blizzard utilizes them for WoW; wouldn't a more useful means to an end be creating a Patch Updater in a similar manner to what Blizzard uses only for security features?
Irritating, but more effective than random whitehat worms spreading about the computer, waiting to be manipulated by blackhat creators.
