At some point, patching and maintaining security needs to be handled

maintain security while those circumventing it with other connection
methods will not. However, given that the consumer base in question
usually utilizes a default M$ install, if M$ incorporated it into
their DUN, dhcp, pppoe, then a large portion of the problem would be
solved.
How long until the next worm/virus/trojan would first disable this
handshake and then attach
to the network? Or you expect to terminate customers within the 24 hours
new patches
are out if they don�t patch? or 72 hours?
