LOL - most ISP's have fought security on clients' PCs

The chickens are coming home to roost! How ironic that most ISP broadband providers were dead set against customers having any sort of security in place. If you had a connection problem, and they found out you had a firewall running, or a secured router in the mix, they were done with you.

And now those decisions to discourage any type of security awareness are amounting to real dollars being lost. That would explain Time Warner's decision to start offering FW software to new customers - unheard of 2 years ago.

So security doesn't become a smart thing until it digs into your profits. Right.
