Eventually we must decide to treat an ignorant user of the internet as any source of infection. Eventually it may become expedient to introduce a licence to be able to get on internet, linked to easily accessible education. And if that doesn't work the sources of infection, i.e. the ignorant casual user, uncle bob, will have to be blocked from connecting a PC onto the internet. He causes damage; untill he takes step to limit damage he should be barred from internet.

If you connect to the net you have responsibility of what people implement on your PC. Why not fine people who are themselves infected? A small fine will wake them up.
