Exactly!!

All users with infected computers should be BANNED from the Internet until their
boxes are clean!! Access to an ISP sandbox would be semi-okay, but allow
infected computers access to the Internet in general? Not only "NO!", but "HELL
NO!!".

Denying access to the few -- those with infected computers -- to protect the
greater masses is EXACTLY the right move! We do not allow individuals who have
highly contagious diseases to randomly wander in public spreading their
infection, so why should we allow their computers to do the same?

There is absolutely no "life critical" event that requires immediate Internet
access by an infected system! Despite what millions of CrackBerry users may
claim, not having instant email access is *not* a "life critical" event!!

"Quarantine to few to protect the many!" That should be the operational mantra
of all ISPs.
