The recently proposed Zombie PC Prevention Bill in South Korea aims to combat zombie PCs with common sense by making security software mandatory on users' PCs. What is of particular interest in the bill is the backdoor it leaves open, giving the government the power to "examine the details of businesses, records, documents and others" of users and companies that do not comply.
More details of the project:
What members of Congress seem to have forgotten is the fact that antivirus software only mitigates a certain percentage of the risk, and that it is only one part of a well-developed defense-in-depth strategy. Many independent reports and tests show that it is unfortunate that users are using antivirus software, they continue to be infected with malware.
What do you think is the best way to combat botnets? Rationalism or radicalism. Is using security software a must, or is it time for ISPs to take care of each of their own backyards.
