“Microsoft Scott Charney is pushing ahead with a
proposal to implement a public health model to curb the damage from
botnets of malware-laden computers around the world.“During a keynote presentation (see documentation) at the RSA
Conference here, Charney trumpeted a “global Internet health model”
that uses existing technologies and organizational policies to
implement a system that limits what an infected computer can do on
the Internet.“Charney’s message was much the same as it was last year when
the Microsoft Trustworthy Computing chief called on ISPs to be
aggressive and consider shutting off Internet access to infected
computers.”
