There are other options too.  If you're assigning IPs via DHCP, you can
hand out 10.x.x.x IPs with a gateway that acts as a transparent proxy
that replaces all websites with a redirect to the ISP's help pages
explaining how to clean their computer, and possibly even with a
"restore my service" button that will reactivate the customer's
connection.

If the same machine is then found to be spewing again within
7/14/30/whatever days, contact with support is required to reactivate.
