No anti-virus software? No internet connection.

In the latest move of the Australian Government to take control of the Internet. No doubt this anti virus software will have to be "state approved".

An Australian government's report into cybercrime has recommended that internet service providers force customers to use antivirus and firewall software or risk being disconnected.



And if their computer did get infected, internet service providers like Telstra and Optus could cut off their connection until the problem was resolved.
Those are two of the recommendations to come from a year-long inquiry into cyber crime by the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Communications. Results of the inquiry, titled Hackers, Fraudsters and Botnets: Tackling the Problem of Cyber Crime, were released last night in a 260-page report.
