ISPs found innocent of aiding zombie attacks in 'trial' | InfoWorld | News | 2005-06-07 | By Grant Gross, IDG News Service
A mock trial discussing the problem of "zombie" computers looked at the responsibility that Internet providers have in preventing these computers which have been taken over by certain viruses from attacking other computers. Some want the Internet providors to prevent computers having such viruses from using their Internet service. Others say that for the providors to analyze customers computers for these viruses would lead to privacy violations for all customers.
I know that I don't want infected computers causing me problems, but I also don't want Internet providors looking over my computer without my permission.
