Application-centered worms! (Eureka moment)

I had one of those "bingo" moments just now.

Some days ago my usb key was infected with a worm of a type I had never seen. So I started wondering about what could have infected my machine...

It suddenly came to me just now: infection through the Garena hooks.

By the way, the idea isn't new or exclusive: the same could be done through the bittorrent protocol, gnutella protocol, or any other application network protocol for that matter.

Cool, huh?
