I agree, most don't have the technical ability to administrate their devices although I'm not sure if that excuses basic competence. I like the idea that an ISP would disable the connection of a subscriber however that would depend on how they define malicious activity.

If ISPs were basic utilities it would probably be a fairly safe responsibility to give them. But no, they're media corporations, so they have an inherent drive to abuse that power.

What you’re describing as “basic competence”, which is removing viruses from a PC in this case, would exclude 99% of users.
