Maybe that is the good news, only 13 Million. David Dagon, a Ph.D. student at Georgia Tech who has spent several years charting the global spread of botnets, estimates that in the 13-month period ending in January, more than 13 million PCs around the world were infected with malicious code that turned them into bots. And that’s not good news for us trying to keep things straight. Are we all fighting a loosing battle? What is the sense if all the bubbas with a computer in this world don’t keep their computers clean and safe? Do we need to have a system in place like a licence to use the internet? (check out the Europian computer drivers license program) After all, you don’t get to take a car on the road unless you meet minimum standards, and have a licence to proove it. If you don’t meet or agree to the standards, you can’t bring your computer on the internet. Simple, no?
