Yup this is a social problem.  Just like there's nothing actually stopping

control of the SPAM problem are the muggers....the people with infected
systems are just the ones who've been mugged.


The ones who've been mugged don't start mugging other people, infected
PCs will infect other PCs. That's the difference, and that's why an
ISP should do something about that. Although it may be out of fashion,
I'd like to see good netizenship.
