Here's a very basic question, which I am sure people wonder about, and
there's been lots of debate...but i'll ask it anyway.

Why is this problem continuing?  Don't the ISP's contact the owners of the
infected machines?  If they are trying, why aren't people smart enough to
know how to clean their machines?

Sometimes I receive a virus mail.....I send mail to the ISP stating their is
an infected machine.....soon the virus mail stops...so 'something' good
happened.........yet reporting spam doesn't seem to help that much.
