It's really sad that Sasser has nailed *so many* machines that Dabber
is able to propagate.

Out in the real world, a virus that could only spread between people who were
actively infected with the contagious phase of measles, or polio, or smallpox
wouldn't be able to spread very well at all.

Obviously, Sasser is yet another strain of herpes for the Internet.
