Kerns: don't forget, the 'good guys' have no incentive to stop the 'bad guys'. They only want to slow them down. That way, the 'good guys' still have a job. It's in everybody's interest that the botnets continue. Everyone, that is, except the lowly Windows user. In other words, switch to Ubuntu! @R.

Unfortunately we are bound by laws and also have the issue of getting sued for knocking someone off line that maybe part of a Botnet, but doesnt realize it... At some point there is going to have to be some sort of Cyber Good Samaritan laws that can help protect us so we can protect you!
