"Worms like Storm are written by hackers looking for profit, and they're
different. These worms spread more subtly, without making noise. Symptoms
don't appear immediately, and an infected computer can sit dormant for a
long time. If it were a disease, it would be more like syphilis, whose
symptoms may be mild or disappear altogether, but which will eventually
come back years later and eat your brain."

Note: This is an excellent summary of the Storm situation. Great job,
Bruce.
