Re: Why change it?

Since they seem to think they can find the offender to charge $5 (unlike a previous article where ISPs said it would be too much trouble,) and they agree that they offender may not be aware they are infected, wouldn't it make more sense to send a note with their bill saying the users have a certain time period to fix their machine and provide some basic info on how to do it (like links to the major AV vendors, spamhaus, spybot, site etc. or referring them to a repair facility.)

Set the time limit and go back and check, if they aren't fixed, start charging extra or block them.
