I propose a Virus based File Sharing system that would allow you to encode a particular file name or partial filename. You would encode your fetching virus and then send it out in the world, it would then hop from system to system seeking the file in question. Once it finds it it copies it and sends
it to you. Additional setting allow you to program the number of times it will execute the routine(to get multiple files sharing the name).
Upon completing its mission it would send out an anti-virus to kill off any copies of itself and then self destruct.

Somewhat alarmingly, I misread the t in the title as an l. |

I don't think you can get a virus from.... um... 'fetching' unless your spoon is dirty |

Wouldn't this just be a regular virus in a
rather becoming frock? |
