I know of at least one ISP that does similar, Onramp.net in Austin
TX. I'm a corporate IT Mgr and one of my remote users is an
Onramp customer that had ancient NAV on his personal PeeCee and
caught whatever worm was in vogue a few months back.
He is not a particularly computer savvy person, but he is not a
luser either. He was quite pleasantly surprised at the service,
once he realized what was going on.
