Title: Occasionally, Microsoft does do something right.
Post by: Skuzzy on September 08, 2010, 10:44:44 AM

For those not aware of the Waledac botnet, you need to be.  Microsoft has finally put a nail into the coffin (http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/2010-09-08-botnets08_ST_N.htm) where it all came from.

Just FYI, there are many computers infected with this botnet and you may not be aware your own computer could be part of it.  It is seriously pervasive.  Please take some time to read about it and make sure your computer is not part of the problem.

Nice although I'm not sure MS is the right entity to be taking over the offending domains.  On the other hand, who would take the responsibility? The government? :noid  :bolt:
