On a cost basis, it should be:

        +       block the customer
        +       Explain to the customer why they were blocked

Customer should be responsible for getting their PC exterminated, although
enterprising ISPs could offer this service for a fee.  Finally, it would not
be unreasonable to impose a reconnect fee.  For that matter, if ISPs wrote
contracts appropriately, there could be a disconnect fee for abuse as well.
