Big problem with (A.) is that many of the problems are created by people in areas outside the U.S.
I would very much like to see some sort of 'anti spam" or "anti viral viral anti" thing by which any viral/worm program, particularly, could be equally matched with some fry-the-antagonists'-wiring action.
I'm not an advocate of harming anyone just because, but there really needs to be some return measure available to end users that meets and exceeds the threat. Something that, so to speak, infects the infectors, moreorless like a "drug" therapy for an infection: send/generate an infectious agent over the internet, receive a dose of the cure by immediate action, from each and every machine targeted.
Some sort of "cure" based upon already proven theory of healing, so to speak.
I guess my point is, virus, trojan horse, worms, etc are a form of theft. If your neighborhood was suddenly over run by people who were constantly trying to break in to your home, you would first get a gun (virus protection) then you would demand that the police get the bad guys. We don't really demand that the police get the bad guys who are infecting our computers, we simply buy more and better firewalls and virus protection. If some of these punks overseas saw their hacker buddies going to prison for 10 to 20 years they might sit up and take notice. They are nothing more than sociopaths anyway, and deserve to be locked up.
