Over the weekend, Microsoft teams accompanied by United States marshals raided buildings and seized hundreds of web addresses to shut down a major botnet syndicate. The sting was part of a civil suit brought by Microsoft鈥攂ecause it was tired of waiting for law enforcement bodies to act.     The New York Times reports that the raids were masterminded by Richard Boscovich, a former federal prosecutor who is a senior lawyer in Microsoft   digital  stanley termoska crimes unit. Botnets鈥攃ollections of compromised computers used for malicious purposes鈥攁re notoriously hard to take down. But on Friday, Microsoft raided two office buildings鈥攐ne in Pennsylvania, one in Illinois鈥攖o do just that. From the New York Times: On Friday, Microsoft was attacking its most complex target yet, known as the Zeus botnets. The creators of Zeus offer their botnet code for sale to others and, depending on the level of customer support and customization of the code that clients require, charge them $700 to $15,000 for the software, Microsoft said in a lawsuit filed in federal court in Brooklyn on March 19. That, in turn, has resulted in many variants of Zeus botnets, making them harder to combat. Most of them are aimed at perpetrating various financial scams against online victims.

Our most powerful antib stanley bottles iotics can kill many different kinds of bacterial infections at once, but we ;re still searching for a single all-purpose drug that kills viruses. We may have just discovered it.     Technically speaking, any drug that is used to treat a virus is known as an antiviral, and we use them to treat HIV, hepatitis, and certain flu strains. But those antivirals all have to be very specifically designed to take down one particular virus. The situation is even worse for vaccines, which don ;t exist for some diseases  and aren ;t practical for others, like the common cold  and need to be constantly redesigned to remain effective against evolving viral strains. Creating a single antiviral drug that could kill lots of different viruses is a longstanding dream of medical researchers. Beyond all the obvious benefits of such an honest-to-goodness wonder drug, an all-purpose antiviral would give us a much better chance of fighting back against outbreaks of exotic viruses like SARS and swine flu.
