South Africa has become the second country to deploy the iCode framework, established by the Australian telecommunications industry 18 months ago to combat remove botnet infections.
Telcos that volunteered to subscribe to the iCode framework would monitor for malicious traffic and contact users to assist them to remove infections.
Users have had internet connections restricted for repeat failings to remove infections.
The iCode was the brainchild of former Internet Industry Association (IIA) chief turned consultant Peter Coroneos.
