High-speed Internet service providers are increasingly putting their customers in the security hot seat, as they try to fight recent virus attacks that turn computers into spam factories.
Five Internet Service Providers have been recruited by the government to hunt down virus-infected computers used to send spam or launch DDoS attacks from Australia.

As spam becomes the number one issue concerning Internet users ISPs are beginning to cash in on the trend, offering spam and virus filtering services for a fee.

Communications Minister Stephen Conroy has welcomed "improvements" in ISP filtering technologies, but will a broad-scale roll-out make ISPs a thief's favourite target?
If providers don't pitch in against the threat, customers might defect -- and the health of the Net itself could suffer.
