Of course, it's a handy trick that may help detect some worms, but the usual advice stands: Make sure that you have an anti-virus program installed on your computer and that the signature files that identify new worms and viruses are downloaded regularly to your computer. Software industry statistics show that six out of every 10 computers don't have anti-virus programs installed. Make sure yours is one of the four that does.
