The "success" of viruses and worms so far have been characterised by their ability to reproduce. This bears some resemblance to their genetic counterparts.
Perhaps the next phase will be a virus or worm that follows genetic theory. The genetic features that would have to be modelled would be:
1) it is considered beneficial 2) it can reproduce 3) it can mutate
The successful entities would then survive, and the unsucessful mutations would die out. Survival of the fittest?
Can you imagine when a system of this kind is capable of reading google's online library? If knowledge is power, we are looking towards creating a very powerful entity.

Here's an idea - can we patent this exploit then sue Microsoft's ass next month when we find it in IE again?
