Subject: Snort and Detecting Virus like activity
What is the best way to have snort detect network worms, I know this
depends on the virus, and then once detected send an email stating that.

Is the only method to create a custom rule depending on the virus or
does snort have some rules built in that will detect some netowrk worms
or all?

For example if you have a firewall and want to detect when a network
worm is active on one side of the frewall is snort the way to do it?
