Re: Comcast Announces Constant Guard Program

I think this is a step in the right direction. I always pondered as to when CC would let these people know that their PC's are bots and causing lots of network traffic be it spam and whatnot. I just hope all the CAE's will be ready to handle this when it's nationwide and not make unnecessary truck rolls. I could see it now, "sub complains of service banner".

What happens after the PC is cleaned or replaced. What happens then to the banner?? Let's say they are behind a router but they replaced the PC but since they are on a router the IP doesn't change. When or how will that IP be cleared? Who will verify the info? What happens if the infected PC's IP changes to another IP that is clean, how will it be tracked. I can see people just changing the IP to get a new un-bannered IP and still be infected and the circle continues! Unless CC will also be tracking by MAC addresses but that can be spoofed also...
