The problem with that is that current laws on the books (in the US at least) make this an illegal solution. If memory serves me correctly, the one I'm thinking about is worded something like: "...any person who without authorization, accesses, modifies, deletes or destroys..."
A web page that users themselves must click "OK, disinfect me"? Seems authorization enough to me...
The penalties are pretty stiff too. The best of intentions don't negate the fact that it's illegal.
When the user initiates the disinfection themselves? -Dan
