With all of the botnets doing so much damage, and wielding so much power that is harnessed by the wrong people, I encourage everyone (the 5 people who actually read this blog) to educate every home user you know to protect their systems. I am not naive enough to believe that we could ever have enough home systems patched to eradicate zombie systems on the net, but every system that is unusable as a weapon against spam, DDoS attacks, and the next (or current) storm worm is a start.
I implore everyone with the knowledge of system security to tech a class, update your Aunt's system next time you see her, and to encourage vendors to promote security on home PCs.
