That's an interesting idea: release a virus to cite a virus. Reminds me of the game Uplink, where [spoiler alert] you choose to either help spread a virus to destroy the Internet, or help spread a "counter-virus", hacking large servers to cure them before they're overrun. Digital vigilantism, that's what that is.
