How should ISPs combat the inevitable malicious traffic?

1) Block traffic on certain ports on the ISP network, as well as to/from peer/upstream networks

Would people fret if ISPs blocked ports 135,138,139,445,1026 and the other Microsoft vulnerable ports I am forgetting? Something tells me measures like this would get lost in "traffic shaping/restriction" debates without ever exploring the security value. Port 25 restrictions?

2) Educate their subscribers on safe browsing habits?

HAHAHA!

3) Sell/give away security software such as Norton/McAfee/F-Secure/etc

HAHAHA!

Not sure why you're laughing... Comcast and AOL give away McAfee, AT&T gives away Norton...
