Which bit of BT? They've got their fingers in quite a lot of pies, and the Clue level varies wildly.
Although given you've asked that question, I suspect that you're enquiring about their retail Internet offerings, and my impression is that they don't bother to check for or deal with infected hosts.
I believe fergdawg referred to bt the platform rather than to BT the provider. Although I have only one contact in the latter, that contact is clueful and attempts to check for infected hosts. As is so often the case, topology and customer-base add complexity to the dealing with part of problems.
