Botnets are a major source of evil on the Internet, from spam, phishing attacks, virus propagation and denial-of-service attacks to the stealing of financial information and other illegal activity. Does disbanding them raise legal and ethical implications?

This article totally over emphasizes botnets. The real issue at hand is the lack of understanding and security inherent in personal computers and their users today. Remove the holes, and the bots have no where to live.
