The fine people at the FBI are recommending people call their ISP for home computer technical support, even though most ISPs don't sell home computers, operating system software or application software.Sounds like an opportunity, someone will want to buy that custom
I found it amusing the FBI saying "don't call us (either)." AT&T: Support+ $99 for virus/spyware issues 1-866-294-3464 Best Buy: Geek Squad $99 to $349 1-800-GEEK-SQUAD (1-800-433-5778) Circuit City: Firedog $79 to $159 1-800-FIRE-DOG (1-800-347-3364) Microsoft PC security: No Charge for virus issues 1-866-PC-SAFETY
BTW, 1 million compromised computers is probably a low estimate.100 aware users is probably a high estimate
If they are aware users, they probably don't have the problem.
