I do believe I heard somewhere about ISPs bundling a pack of free AV /
spyware remover tools with their install CD - AVG and such.

However when it comes to allowing downloads, I guess something like
cisco's NBAR would help even if it were offsite downloads - these URLs
/ URL regexes are allowed, the rest are not, at least till the user
disinfects his PC.
