Qwest would like you to know they've launched some fancy new "Consumer

infected, gives you information on how to remove the infection, and then
provides you with anti-virus software.

I applaud Qwest in this endeavor -- they have taken the lead among ISPs to
at least begin seriously addressing the botnet problem:
