Story: ISP forced to take action on viruses

I personally think that the answer to the issue is that security needs to become more of a partnership between users & ISPs. We've all seen the rise of consumerism throughout the 90s, and of ideas such as 'Rights with Responsibilities.' Net security, to my mind, is like security for our homes, cars, or PCs, come to that. The police can help us, but ultimately, we do have an input ourselves. No-one [I hope! :)] would expect to learn potholing or snorkelling skills, without learning anything about safety, and I think that there is a parallel, especially as a major reason for using the net is surely that of increasing one's 'bank' of information. Hopefully, the 21st Century will see great reductions in the impact of malware, as we each (myself included) assist the ISPs in our own little way.
