Correct, how is it ISPs problem that micro$lop sent out a screwed update, 
how is it our fault that the users use zone alarm and blocks our DNS, we 
provide Internet Access, we are not hand holders nor teachers of PC's, 
there are institutions out there that specialise in that, in this country 
your avg council run library has these courses, I'm sure they have teh 
same elsewhere, so it might possibly not be the customers fault but its 
also not our fault that somthing on your pc is preventing you from using
the net.

it certainly does not lie with the service providor either, ISP's run 
"technical support" not micro$lop support, or to be fair, linux or bsd 
support, however the people that use linux and bsd generally know what 
they are doing and dont need to call tech support just because they have 
no idea  on how to configure pine or evolution or kmail etc, it is the 
CSR's job to provide the settings for services, like DNS ip's, pop3/smtp 
homepage access for members, etc, its not our place to teach you how to 
use those programs
