Symantec has removed more than 500,000 infected PCs from the botnet created by the ZeroAccess Trojan, which uses a peer-to-peer mechanism -- the latest technique botnet authors have adopted to avoid having their networks taken down by security experts. Symantec used a DNS sinkhole to fight the ZeroAccess botnet. The attack "made a sizeable dent," said Symantec security researcher Vikram Thakur.
