The German government has announced plans to collaborate with ISPs in fighting botnets.

“In the first half of next year, it plans to set up an advisory center which will help users purge their computers of viruses and bots,” according to The H Security.

“According to the plan, ISPs will contact customers whose PCs are infected with a bot, possibly by post or by telephone,” the article states. “The plan also contemplates having infected computers automatically connect to a special Web page each time they connect to the Internet.”
