The request to get a virus to kill viruses reminds me of one of the
wonderful classic sci-fi stories ... about flying robots built to
prevent killing, which would attack and zap (first to stun, then to
kill) people who were killing.  They were also built with the ability
to learn, so that they would not be outsmarted.

Problem was, they also started zapping animals, preventing them from
killing and eating their natural prey.  And then they realized that
they, machines, were also life forms, so they started zapping farmers
who tried to turn off their tractors at the end of the day, and so on.

In turn, bigger and smarter and stronger and better learning robots were
built, to hunt down the killing-preventing robots ...

And the story ends with how this second generation was "beginning to 
learn that there were other things to kill."


Good luck with your anti-virus work!

Rick.
