Ok this has probably been thought of loads of times before even implemented but...
My friend and I thought ...
What if someone were to write an anti-virus virus. (very old)
Not an innoculator against 1 particular virus but something like Protector that looks for strange writes to disk, lengthening of files etc and gives the user a warning. But unlike Protector and other such virus checkers is actually a virus so you don't install it yourself and it spreads around the world copying itself and hopefully protecting your machine!
This would have to be a secret thing (if only because viruses are illegal) so that virus writers would not easily be able to just keep getting the latest version and getting round it.
anyone?
No I'm not writing it I don't know how!

P.S. Punishment for virus writers ... make them use an Atari ST with the SEKA assembler.
