Which bit of BT? They've got their fingers in quite a lot of pies, and the Clue level varies wildly.

Although given you've asked that question, I suspect that you're enquiring about their retail Internet offerings, and my impression is that they don't bother to check for or deal with infected hosts.

Well, thanks for the response :-) but I am looking for anyone who could shed some light on this statement: "BT has launched an automated system to identify professional spammers and 'botnet'-infected customers on the BT broadband network." ref: http://www.networkworld.com/news/2006/101306-bt-fires-back-at.html I am curious as to what they're actually doing.
