Early on, I had a telephone call where they told me that their testing showed that my
computer had a virus. They would fix it for me for only $50. At the time, I didn't
even have a computer connected to the web at home ( lived in the mountains ).

I assume that BotNets are compromised end user machines, and that the end

Well, they are not "permanent". I forget what I have it set

hosts.deny Likely, I could set that sunset period shorter.
