Remember that worm? If I was in the Blaster days, I would think this
kind of worm is actually useful provided that:
* The worm limit the rate it spreads.
* It is controllable.
* It properly removes blaster.
* It do not auto-reboot the computer.

Any other suggestions?

* It properly clean itself after the infection

Shooting a lung cancer patient will remove the cancer problems.
There are better solutions.

Blaster was only a problem to those computers neglected by their operators.
Either one of two things stopped Blaster:
1. Windows updated with current patches since the patch to protect against
Blaster was available weeks before Blaster arrived.
2. Enabled/installed firewall.
People should have done both long before Blaster.
Blaster would not have even existed if computer users took even a basic
responsibility for their own computer.

Use the proper fix and shooting the patient will not ever be considered
necessary.

I'm always surprised at "professionals" who STILL have to be asked "Have you
checked (event viewer / syslog)".
