If you compare the "before" picture against the "after" one, you'll notice that the tip of the light post where the flash is in the picture looks like smoking. I assume that it was, indeed, a micrometeorite which hit the light post.
I don't think this would be a very goo idea since
we will be having a new problem (assuming that the antivirus-virus worked fine).
If, and only IF, every user accepts that a virus like program fixes his machine, this program will spread throught the internet like hell ( since no real antivirus will stop it), then, what stops a virus maker of modifying the code so it "looks" like the original, but actually does virus like activities?
This will bring a nice problem to the antivirus companies, having to "filter" the bad virus and letting in the good virus.
Now, let's talk about the users, generally stupid enought to double click on any attachment they get on their email. Knowing that a good virus is around will make them EVEN more uninformed about what they are running/openning, so if the antivirus software they are using tells them, "Hey this could be a virus, BUT could also be the good guy", asking them if they want to let it in, i have no doubt they would respond with a big YES and merry christmas!!!
