All the way back in 2001...can't say I'd complain too much, I STILL see tons of code red/nimda crap trying to come in our gateways...
EDIT: Now that I have started thinking about it, I think the original basis for the concept of a 'worm' back in simpler times was a delivery mechanism for software and it wasn't until the Morris worm that they started taking on bad connotations...of course I can't back that up at the moment, but I'm sure its stuck on my brain for a reason...
