Technical Summary

  This document contains recommendations on how Internet Service
  Providers can manage the effects of computers used by their 
  subscribers, which have been infected with malicious bots, via
  various remediation techniques.  Internet users with infected
  computers are exposed to risks such as loss of personal data, as well
  as increased susceptibility to online fraud and/or phishing.  Such
  computers can also become an inadvertent participant in or component
  of an online crime network, spam network, and/or phishing network, as
  well as be used as a part of a distributed denial of service attack. 
  Mitigating the effects of and remediating the installations of
  malicious bots will make it more difficult for botnets to operate and
  could reduce the level of online crime on the Internet in general
  and/or on a particular Internet Service Provider's network.
