Comcast Pop-ups Alert Customers to PC Infections

I’ll let you guys decided if this is a good idea or a bad idea. I thought we were just getting the message across to regular internet users that pop-ups like this were almost always malware?

A new automated service that will warn broadband customers of possible virus infections, if the computers are behaving as if they have been compromised by malware. For instance, a significant overnight spike in traffic being sent from a particular Internet Protocol address could signal that a computer is infected with a virus taking control of the system and using it to send spam as part of a botnet.
