Microsoft says it has been granted a court order that will cut off 277.com domains associated with the botnet. The order will effectively knock the brains of Waledac off the Internet, Microsoft says. The botnet has been a major source of computer infections and spam over the past year. Microsoft believes botnet can send over 1.5 billion [b] spam messages daily. Microsoft’s takedown operation “was the result of months of investigation and the innovative application of a tried and true legal strategy,” the company says.”]
