Hmm, so if the AV discovers an active bot is it possible to take this a step 
further and locate the C&C and forward that info to relevant network operators?

 

With some operators specializing hosting these, what good would that do 
until the "big guys" start cutting them off at their borders?

I mean fwd to some central location to be shared with various operators rather 
than spamcop style org lookup ..
