Microsoft is taking a big step towards hunting down major virus writers (especially the
SoBig virus,
MyDoom virus and
MSBlast worm, and maybe
Sasser worm) in its Antivirus Award Program. They might be rewarding the informants up $250,000. This move led to an arrest of the creator of Sasser worm (and the source code was confiscated) but many believed that the worm was created by the Skynet virus-writing gang, which was also believed to be behind all variants of the mass-mailing computer virus known as
Netsky.
