Commentards are only too ready to gang-rape MS, on this (or any other) issue. But, does anyone have a better idea?
Botnets have become a really dangerous factor on the internet. Mostly, they only cost money, but it's only a matter of time before someone dies at the hands of a botnet.
It should be clear by now that many computer users are either too lazy or too stupid to protect themselves - so what are we going to do to protect ourselves from them?
Block IPs that represent parts of a botnet?
Send polite messages to such IPs?
Write white viruses that infect black viruses?
Or just complain every time someone suggests a solution?
