I think they should add a 'nag' feature to the software which would nag dumb*ss users who don't have up-to-date anti-virus to get the same, and preferably disconnect their connection if they don't do it within a few days

... maybe then we will see less network-aware virus activity in the Airtel network.

No, i dont think this is a good idea since it appears you are saying, you need to have an uptodate anti-virus just to use the internet. Does Airtel get a commission on each anti-virus copy sold ?
Now if they detect insane random amounts of traffic originating from a customer and going all over the net, then that's something their traffic analysis tools might pick up on.
I dont run an anti-virus at all cept clamwin which works great in outlook. Allows me to quickly check if a downloaded file is virus free, and best of all its free and is updated daily, automatically too i might add. No memory hogging for no reason when all ports leading to my box are closed by the Beetel NAT that they provide and addtionally by zone alarm.
