Many ISP's who do care about issues such as worms, infected users "spreading the love", etc. simply do not have the man-power to handle all their infected users' population.
Some who are user/broadband ISP's (not say, tier-1 and tier-2's who would be against it: "don't be the Internet's Firewall") are blocking ports such as 139 and 445 for a long time now, successfully preventing many of their users from becoming infected. This is also an excellent first step for responding to relevant outbreaks and halting their progress. Philosophy aside, it works. It stops infections. Period. Back to the philosophy, there are some other solutions as well. Plus, should this even be done?
Oh geez, here we go again... Search the archives and read until you're content. It's a non-thread. This horse isn't only dead, it's not even a grease spot on the road any more. :-( scott
