Guess so, seems not a very effective infection if they cause the boxes 
to reboot themselves 30 seconds later though.

If I were being paid to fix the boxes and had access to a non-Windows 
connection to the Net then I'd not really have minded so much. As it was 
I didn't even know there was a worm until after I'd already fixed the 
problem. Being all clever to fix a problem for people who don't realize 
how clever you're being and wouldn't care anyway pretty much sucks. ;)
