"For years, security experts have debated the concept of using good 
worms to seek and destroy malicious worms. Some believe that it's time 
to use the worms' tactics against them 
<http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1037004,00.asp> and build good 
worms that fix problems but the chaos and confusion associated with 
self-propelled replicating programs have left others unconvinced.

Larry Seltzer also has something to say about them.

"There's no arguing with much of the presentation. Organizations need to 
secure the systems on their network and it's a hard thing to do. Large 
networks aren't documented or organized well enough. Many tools are too 
slow-moving. Incidentally, Aitel is basically talking here about closed, 
controlled networks such as in corporations, but at one point the 
presentation uses ISP networks as an example that could benefit from 
this approach."
