Get over it, there will always be new software released. Therefore there will always be more holes and insecure code to be taken advantage of and exploited for botnets. The way to stop it is just to get people to learn about their computers and learn how they work, what should run, what shouldn't, and what each program is doing. Personally, I respect these coders of such bots as RxBot, Agobot, Phatbot, Etc.. They take advantage of holes that are well known and show people how easy it really is. Also, if 12-20 year old kids are owning over 3,000 computers in a weekend.. Why are there 35 year old people claiming to be 'Security Experts' who still get defaced by us kids? Just something to think about. Thanks
