A good worm

Whoever thought of this one is a really good hacker. This new worm does the same thing as the Blaster worm, but instead of trashing your system, it kills the Blaster worm off and gets the patches from Microsoft! Automatically! This is a pretty good worm, and if you have the Blaster virus, if this worm infects you, you'll have a battle of worms.

This worm tries spreads by exploiting a hole in Microsoft Windows. It instructs a remote target system to download and execute the worm from the infected host. Once running, the worm terminates and deletes the W32/Lovsan.worm.a process and applies the Microsoft patch to prevent other threats from infecting the system through the same hole. When the system clock reaches Jan 1, 2004, the worm will delete itself upon execution.
