Australia wants to ISPs to require anti-virus software for all users and, if a customer does get infected, they will be booted off the internet until they get their PC fixed. Good idea? Bad idea? What do you think?
A new plan floated by the country’s House of Representatives Standing Committee on Communications suggests that Australia should allow ISPs to mandate anti-virus and firewall protection among their customers. If a customer does get a malware infection, the ISP would be allowed to cut off that customer’s connection until the problem was fixed.
