One possibility no one has yet mentioned: it is illegal to drive a car or SUV or whatever if it is known to be unsafe, and might injure others. In some countries, it is illegal not to help strangers in certain situations - if they are being mugged, for example.
How about if it were made a legal requirement to take at least *some* basic preventive measures against your comp becoming a zombie or virus forwarder? On pain of being susceptble to attacks from the kind of defensive measures this thread is discussing.

And something has to be done. Virus related problems are only going to increase.
