If ISP's would be charged triple or more for outbound malware/spyware/viral/etc traffic the problem would probably be under control sooner then later.

Of course, it would also help if ISP's would be able to offload their "fines" to vendors that statistically seem to be the main cause of such "super charged" traffic.
Or simple be legally allowed to shut down whatever service to nodes that generate such "super charged" traffic.
