I like worms. The kind that live in the ground or are raised on a
farm!! <http://www.wormman.com/> The creators of malicious code I just
don't understand.

The worm installs a component on a user's machine that analyzes all
network traffic via a layered service provider (LSP) integration and
dynamically modifies blog comments, discussion posts and webmail-based
emails as they are being posted by the user to include a link to the
malicious code, thereby propagating itself to other victims.

"This signifies a new trend in malware that is spread through blogs,
message boards and web-based email," said Dmitri Alperovitch,
Principal Research Scientist, Secure Computing. "And this threat is
particularly insidious in that anti-virus detection doesn't always
work. This threat utilizes server polymorphism, which means that it is
continuously being repackaged to make the binary appear different to
signature-based anti-virus solutions." With the executable file being
changed continuously, it easily sneaks below the radar of the leading
anti-virus programs, which are largely signature-based.
