    P2P worms are the most easiest to write since all you need 
    is to drop a file with a random name taken f.ex. from Google 
    Zeitgeist (http://www.google.com.pl/intl/pl/press/zeitgeist.html) 
    into a P2P program's directory. The rest is just an example of 
    pure social engineering. So, why to bother updating at all in P2P? 
    Let users work for you.
