The better idea would be fingerprint the spam to match the bot used to match
the exploit used to run the bot to then reverse exploit back to the
exploited machine patching in the process.
I managed to setup such a system a while ago with nimda traffic however I
could not a find a software tool which exploited a nimda exploited machine
which could then patch it and remove the virus
(Ie a remote doctor without you knowing :)
