Just read on mashable how hackers are using things called botnets to insert code into tweets that carry computer virus from PC to PC. Does anyone know if there are already any protections available for botnets?

Thanks for the additional links. I wonder if the firewall companies will develop something to protect PCs where people are using apps like TweetDeck?
