Yes, it would be good to keep an eye on that.

Ideally we'd have an automated script to set up
a petri dish, try out a bunch of known infectious agents,
and see which one of them reproduce.

I haven't done anything like that myself, but I imagine
a good place to start might be to script an instance
of mozilla or ies4linux visiting the top sites listed at
http://www.stopbadware.org/home/topsites
and see if they're able to modify the system at all.
