Until the average user's cpe is only permitted to use the resolvers one has provided as the provider (or otherwise decided are OK), this is going to be a game of whackamole. So long as there's an 'I have a clue' opt out, it appears to be the way forward to resolve this issue. Shutting down one set of 'bad resolvers' will simply cause a new set to be spawned, and a reinfection run round the still-unpatched cpe's of the world.
+1. Local network resolvers/trusted providers (Google 8.8., OpenDNS), "Clue Opt Out" switch available if needed.
