Buy them a gizmo:

We're launching a new product called F-Secure Network Control Appliance
based on this technology. It will tackle spam and computer zombies for
service providers automatically. This box will monitor traffic from
end-users at the network edge, automatically denying offending computers
access to the network. Those using too much bandwidth or operating as
spam zombies will automatically get redirected to a self-help web page,
explaining what they have to do (like "clean your PC - install
patches!") in order to regain network connectivity.

This is smart compared to the current model where ISPs and other service
providers are manually trying to figure out who is a zombie and who is
not - and when they find one they will just cut the user off, leaving
him wondering what's going on and making support calls.

This technology works: it is already being used to monitor around half a
million subscriber lines.
