Asprox Botnet is a Network Hacking Spyware that attacks Microsoft Windows,Mac,Emails,Websites and other social networking websites. It can steal passwords, internet banking and personal identity(IP address).It can compromise computer through the computer network and its a high security risk infection. It can also compromise all the other devices like printer,ipad,phones,tablets and playstation.It can corrupt system drivers and printer very easily. This infection can not be removed by any Anti-virus like Norton, Mcafee, Avast and Webroot etc.Network Security is the only programming tool and security,which can remove this infection and can provide protection in future also .

Note: Have removed a block of text that was identical to the current article, this request is only about a change to the introduction – Þjarkur (talk) 22:42, 2 May 2019 (UTC))

 Not done, the current introduction seems better. – Þjarkur (talk) 22:42, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

Why this article should be protected

Based on the following citations, the proposition that "Network expert is the only person who can install network security firewall." is simply untrue. My suspicion is that anyone who makes this assertion in a Wikipedia article wants to make money doing the remediation, & would justify it by referring unsuspecting users to a Wikipedia article that basically says "only network security experts can do it." I would characterize this with a contentious label: Hogwash!

Please leave the current lead as is. It is far more accurate.
