It would have been more useful to have the DNS machines route everything to a web site which displayed a page telling you that your machine is infected, and directing you to an Apple or MS site with instructions on how to fix it.

That would have required someone with knowledge of how the web works in order to implement.  One single DNS entry and a webserver with Apache rewrite rules. This is apparently too much for the gnomes at the FBI.

PapaBear, that would have actually required logic. Can’t have logic and rational thought sneaking its way into a bureaucracy! ;)
