|  All ISPs should wall off infected machines & assist cleanup
It is in their own interest to do so and it also will help drastically cut down on botnets controlled by criminals. I hope this is something the other major ISPs do as well.

You know that is not going to happen, most ips will not follow them. You can dream but likely that is all it will be a dream. It cops ISP more in business to get custgomers to clean up then to ignore the problem |

| Can't have it both ways
In the years I have been posting on BBR over and over again I have read people bitching about the ISP's failing do anything about Botnets, Zombies, and what not. Now that Qwest is going just that you are bitching about an ISP doing something about it. So what do you want? It is very unlikely I will ever get high jacked but if it does happen I sure would like to know about it so I can fix it. More importantly it will notify people who don't have a clue about this sort of thing. The fact Qwest will help such users clean up their computers is great. I really don't see the problem here.

If person is computer knowledgible then they would love to know about it. If all they using computer is to surf and check their email, they will not care and will not bother cleaning up. They will tell isp to mind own business and will cancel service, and switch ( assuming they have service to switch to). The people that bitch about the botnetz and zombies and knowledgible who are tired of getting "attacked". If qwest want to satisfy those users, that is fine but it likely will be at cost of them losing less experience users who really "need help" |

| People that are knowledgeable will like this? People that are knowledgeable dont let there system or systems be part of a bot net to begin with. Its the people with no knowledge who are infected with some trojan, the same people who never update there AV program. Dont tell me this is good for me thx.
Gee and i wondered why my connection slows down everyday at the same time, na quest isnt doing anything. Why do i have to get the news here instead of from them. |

LOL, that is the funniest thing I have ever read on this site, and that is saying a lot I am guessing you are either lying about buying the stock , or have never checked the stock prices. In October 2005, the low for Qwest stock was $3.92. It closed last night at $9.18........
