Comment A little education (Score 1) 790
All the ISPs really need to do is a little education.
ISPs seem to put everything else in their Terms of Service, why not this? During the sign up process the user could be presented with instructions for basic security measures. It might not work in all cases, but I think it will reduce the number of cases.
For ISPs who dish out CDs to sign up, the virus checker and personal firewall should be on the CD. Virus checkers seem to be included on CDs bundled with motherboards.
The general public needs education but they will not bother to learn if it is too much effort.
