As an ISP, you might consider blocking malware sites. OpenDNS used to be free
for anyone that wanted to use it, businesses included, but they changed their
terms of service. What they told us was the free service used a database that
didn't get updated very frequently, and filtered about 5000 malware sites.
When you used the paid for service, there were like 100,000 malware sites in
that database. We met with them awhile back, when they were still developing
their Active Directory implementation.
