Most viruses and hacking that plagues US users comes from other countries. US legislation about it would be in vain.
I could well see optional filtering services offered on the internet side of the ISP’s connection to you, that would attempt to stop web-borne malware. It would have the advantage of being up-to-the-minute.
As for computers being vulnerable to malware, thank Bill Gates. His Windows PCs were not originally intended to be on a world wide web. UNIX-based systems such as Macs and various Linuxen were designed from the bottom up for a hostile networking environment and are more robust in the face of such attacks. Supposedly, the newest versions of Windows are now far stronger against attacks than older ones. But a wrong setting can still easily open them up.
