[Ed Tanton]

This is from the latest issue of Eweek (online):

QUOTE

Microsoft Corp. on Wednesday announced the creation of a $5 million fund to 
be used to reward people who turn over information leading to the 
conviction of virus writers.

To kick off the program, Microsoft offered rewards of $250,000 each for 
information that leads to the arrest of the authors of two recent viruses, 
Blaster and SoBig.F. The company announced the offers at a press conference 
in Washington in conjunction with the FBI, Secret Service and Interpol.

Perhaps this will do some good.
