The recent bagle_remover.nasl script sets a somewhat dangerous
precedent, IMHO, of crossing the line from vulnerability detection
to remediation.  Not to mention that you are trusting the bagle
remover script to do its own removal cleanly.  There are a number
of reasons why this is bad, not the least of which is that I
personally would not trust a virus to remove itself cleanly to
begin with. It is by definition, after all, untrusted code.

I would suggest that this script be modified (if possible) into
a detection only script and leave the corrective action out as
a separate activity.
