It is clearly stated in American law at least that "Self Defense" is only
applicable in circumstances where there is a "Reasonable cause for bodily
injury". This doesn't mean injury of personal possessions. Therefore, if
you had to go to court over this, you wouldn't have much legal ground to
stand on. So I'd be very careful before implementing any type of script to
exploit Nimda's vulnerabilities. Especially considering that, under
American law, you could be prosecuted just as equally as the person that
wrote the virus originally.
Just some thoughts.

Maybe this is the best way to handle it, because usually people do not know if their computers are infected. I think it is possible to write root.exe or default.ida script that will send increasingly rude messages back to webadmin every week the script gets a hit.
