>>There are currently over 8600 windows devices on my network

8600 windoze devices on the ACME botnet ehh Wiley? {yawn}

http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9200598/Group_used_30_000_node_botnet_in_MasterCard_PayPal_attacks

30,000 -- Well, that’s a little more impressive... for a non-government-sponsored bot-net anyhow.

“Both MasterCard and Visa also had their public websites knocked offline by a “hive” of as many as 3,000 activists who had downloaded Web-attacking software, which was then turned on different websites. “

{Sigh} Alas! If only Visa and Mastercard had worn a pair of these here ACME Sand-Boxers...

...the malware attacking them would've been a thing of the past and the organized cyber-criminals who perpetrate such mischief would've been discouraged from skimming their way out of Cyberia ever again. Alas!/s
