Why is it always only Microsoft's fault? They do make a buggy OS, but what about the ISPs? We should hold them accountable, too, for not securing the Internet.
Why are ISPs renting modems without a built-in firewall? A firewall is now a requirement. It wasn't a few years ago, but times have changed. The ISPs need to step up and update their hardware. If every broadband household modem came with a built-in firewall so that mom & pop don't have to go out and buy any more hardware if they don't want to, many of these Internet worms would have been stopped.
Call your ISP and demand that they take responsibility to secure the Internet!
