On a cost basis, it should be:
+ block the customer
+ Explain to the customer why they were blocked
Customer should be responsible for getting their PC exterminated, although
enterprising ISPs could offer this service for a fee. Finally, it would not
be unreasonable to impose a reconnect fee. For that matter, if ISPs wrote
contracts appropriately, there could be a disconnect fee for abuse as well.
