I though, would also like to see some REAL efforts to regain control in this battle we are losing. And what recommendation would YOU suggest, when a rootkit has also likely brought other crimeware into the system on a PER system and/or network basis, and you have NO IDEA what may or may not cause additional issues in any given system. Were it a simple matter of supplying a non-failable cleanup tool or tools, then we wouldn't be having the millions of infected computers in the first instance. -- MEB http://peoplescounsel.org/ref/windows-main.htm Windows Info, Diagnostics, Security, Networking http://peoplescounsel.org The "real world" of Law, Justice, and Government ___---

That would have to be done by the ISP, not by Microsoft and is done when the subscriber is found to be a zombie spambot.
