That does sound reasonable to me. I wonder if there isn't a technical reason why this might be a Bad Idea, though. For example, it used to be courteous to send an e-mail to a sender to let them know their computer was infected, but now trying to do things like that is a nuisance because it's highly unlikely that you're actually going to be contacting the original sender. Popping up a message on the machine with the proper IP number of the source of the infection sounds useful at best and harmless at worst...but is it really harmless? Could these popups interrupt running processes on poorly configured servers and such?
