Solution is simple, but US legislators are too indebetted to the spammers to do any meaningful legislating...

Central DNS should check black hole list before service a computer, then add any botnet computer to the blacklist. Every time a computer asks for a DNS give them a single IP that says "Your computer is exploited: service denied!"

Eventually, the people with exploited computers will be so isolated that they will have no connectivity, this will force them to get the malware removed from their computer.

But the decision makers are all in the pocket of big business, nothing will change as long as business interests own congress!
