    Great that they finally kill a bot-net, I hope this is an example how "easy" it can be to do it. Now it would be even better if they'd somehow warned the infected PCs, or maybe take them down. Most people will not even realize their PC is infected, and don't have a clue how to do something about it.

    Look, maybe for you botnets are "easy". Some of us just don't have that natural charm. Getting one to go down takes money, effort, and patience. Dinner, Broadway, drinks, those things aren't cheap!
