IIRC some virii or trojan horses tried to fetch updates from web pages,
usually on free hosting services. And as soon as they are detected, the
web account is closed and the dangerous files removed, so this does not
look like a very efficient chanel.

What would happen if such a nasty piece of code used some P2P protocol
to update itself? e.g. Gnutella or eDonkey? Has anybody seen such a
"feature"?
