No other ISP has gone to press over this, not a bad response from VM so far.

Not sure about knocking these people offline though. VM are treating those infected as victims, it would be a PR disaster if they just suspended a thousand accounts, and a feeding frenzy on this forum. :D:

Better to disconnect them rather than have them continue to infect or spam others I would have thought.;)

Not IMHO.

Better to give them a restricted connection, one that allows them access to virus checker websites to download a virus checker, and nothing else.
