Quote However, less to ISPs liking, the report also demanded that ISPs immediately start the process of agreeing a voluntary code for detection of, and effective dealing with, malware infected machines in the UK. If this voluntary approach fails to yield results in a timely manner, then we further recommend that Ofcom unilaterally create such a code, and impose it upon the UK ISP industry on a statutory basis

Yeah see that bit worries me. Are they now saying ISPs should just hack into your computer to clean it up and do what they like with it?

Quote Some readers might also be interested to know that we located a handful of our own customers in the list of IP addresses identified by Amini and co.
We’ve since contacted those customers to let them know.

Whilst ISPs are probably best placed to perform such an identification, I wouldn't even want to think what cost that would entail...
@okrzynska: I'm not sure that ISPs should hack into your computer to "deal with" such an infection - perhaps being placed into some kind of quarantine zone? Not sure how this would work, however...

Quote from: Axisofevil So if, despite your best efforts, you become a victim then you would be harshly dealt with?
Nah, first off they could use those old pieces of technology called 'a letter' or 'a telephone' to let us know something might be amiss
If that failed to work then maybe something a bit more drastic might be called for.

I bet they just send a frightening looking letter about courts, bailiffs beloved of shady debt collectors.

This is a serious question - if I had a low-activity bot that just sent out a dozen spam emails every day, then in all honesty if that's all it did, why should I put myself out?
Unless consultancy fees are payable of course!!!
