So why are people just watching these botnets instead of taking action.

Its past letting people off the hook because they are nieve or plain stupid.

People who are infected with these trojans should be shutdown some how...perhaps by a 'good' botnet created by security companies (in conjunction with other measures).

If someone sent me post containing some of the stuff I get in spam e-mail...the police etc. would take it very seriously and probably cart someone off to jail...what is different with regards the internet?

People are scared of taking responsibility for this, but I think if someone stepped forward...others would soon follow as this is now a big problem especially with reports the other week about the internet reaching capacity!
