Do you honestly believe these botnets are made up of thousands of otherwise diligent users who fell prey to a zero-day attack?
The millions of those who can't be bothered to update their systems have been bloody lucky not to get caught up in it then haven't they?

And just because somebody might get caught out by a zero day doesn't automatically absolve everybody from taking some responsibility for the security of their systems.

That's like saying home users should be made personally liable if their PC is infected with a virus that adds it to a botnet and is used for a DDOS attack.

Or like saying a car driver should be responsible for the damage he causes if he crashes into another vehicle.

Oh.. wait..

Create three pages, one of which contains only links to the other two. Now "click" from one of the child pages to the other. On a more serious note - Google may well be a massive generator of links to other sites, but I fail to see its usefulness in being able to click through it to other sites - it does rely on textual input.
