If you're talking about a compulsory software solution, why not, as an ISP, go back to authenticated activity? Distribute PPPOE clients mated with common anti-spyware/anti-viral tools. Pull down and update signatures *every time* the user logs in, and again periodically while the user is logged in (for those that never log out). Require these safeguards to be active before they can pass the smallest traffic.
Cost prohibitive.. In order to do that you'll need licenses from the AV companies..
Oddly enough, AOL and several other large providers seem to have no problems advertising some variant on 'free A/V software'.
