I think it would be nice if routers and modems could be setup to occasionally download virus definitions for a user's antivirus, and store the virus definition on a USB fash drive, so users can still use the usb drive to update virus definitions if a user's internet is blocked by a virus.

I think there is a version of Ultimate Boot CD which is based on Windows XP, so you can use antimalware made for Windows.
