This document contains recommendations on how Internet Service
Providers can use various remediation techniques to manage the
effects of malicious bot infestations on computers used by their
subscribers.  Internet users with infected computers are exposed to
risks such as loss of personal data and increased susceptibility to
online fraud.  Such computers can also become inadvertent
participants in or components of an online crime network, spam
network, and/or phishing network as well as be used as a part of a
distributed denial-of-service attack.  Mitigating the effects of and
remediating the installations of malicious bots will make it more
difficult for botnets to operate and could reduce the level of online
crime on the Internet in general and/or on a particular Internet
Service Provider's network.  This document is not an Internet 
Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.
