Dear Vendor,

Naming your legitimate application msworm.exe causes much stress for our poor server team.

In future think of a better name which does not cause hernias and mass heart attacks in our much needed personel.

Thank you.

Nita

EDIT:
msworm.exe is a crawler which is being used to categorise a company intranet for a sitemap.

Funny enough, just a day after this post, we've got a new application with an exe that's called "winscan.exe" and people have been googling the file, finding that it's also a file that a virus uses, reporting it as a virus, getting their ports shut off, etc. WHEE STUPIDITY BY PROGRAMMERS!
