Excellent for deniability, but would cause the virus checkers to add
Freenet to the list of stuff they check for. This would tend to panic
new users who got Freenet normally.
Not a good idea until there is so much legit software using Freenet
that the virus checkers would have to confine their checking to the
actual worm, not the payload.
The best way to make Freenet "viral" is to write cool software that
depends on it.
