Get the Fizz Out

Basically, these guys IRC nets were being bombarded by the Fizzer worm, so they took matters into their own hands and are trying to automate an uninstller for infected PC's. Now: note that under the DMCA the legality of doing this may be questionable ...

Crazy.

IRC group decrypts Fizzer commands. Using what is essentially a password that changes daily, members of the chat-security group IRC/Unity have started telling Fizzer-compromised PCs to uninstall the virus. [CNET News.com]
