[autoexec]

I get it, you don't like the idea of taxes, but fortunately most people are glad for them and the services they provide.

If this service causes a bunch of crashes (somehow) or they end up DoSing someone they should be responsible for the harm that they cause, but since these scans are no different that what criminals are already doing every day I don't imagine it'll be a huge problem unless they really screw something up.

I'd also guess that the costs in both time and money spent on the traffic generated by DDoS attacks, malware infections, and phishing sites are much much greater than the costs for 'security guys' to review logs, safely automate scans, and notify webhosts of problems. This is a sensible measure that should save massive amounts of time and money for people all around the globe and make the internet better for UK citizens in the process.
