It's not that simple. The vast majority of worm infections are not from

gets a "bad reputation" s a result, that reputation will affect a number
of other users of that same ISP, many of which have their virus-protection
in perfect order.
This is the problem that many people seem to be ignoring.
Not a problem at all. If an ISP gets a bad reputation then people will
migrate away from them. Where is the problem?
