We disconnect after contact if they remain infected after 72 hours or 
once we determine contact won't be possible.

User's are responsible for their own computers. We understand that many 
of them need the service in order to fix their systems. However, a line 
has to be drawn at some point. I want the 135 blocks removed, and in 
order to do that, the malicious packets must be reduced to a minimum.
