Sorry for the late poll.

 

This week we want to know what you think about Microsoft leading the take down of the Zeus botnet? Do you think that a company such as Microsoft should lead the charge? Should it be left to Governmental Agencies? Let us know what you think.

Can't trust the government to take care of us can we now rolleyes.gif

 

Plus it helps them develop counter measures and stuff... and maybe form a vigilante department :)

 

I was gonna post a link for the video in which Bill Gates and his henchmen ruin Homer's little computer company at home but I couldn't find it :P

Who's going to vote "bad"? Unless it's the person that runs the botnet. Anyways, good job MS, glad to see them out there doing this.

The question is not about the botnet being taken down but about Microsoft taking it down instead of the government. Someone may believe this kind of security effort should be the responsibility of the government and not a software company.

Well in that case, it's Microsofts job, but I'm the type of person that believes the government should let the private sector do pretty much everything.
