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?

I know dont about protection against the botnet but I betcha Symantec will develop a software against these botnets. Here is more: http://asert.arbornetworks.com/2009/08/twitter-based-botnet-command-channel/

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