Comcast Unveils Comprehensive “Constant Guard” Internet Security Program

"As part of this effort, starting today in Denver, CO, Comcast will
begin to trial an in-browser notification “Service Notice”, which
will alert customers whose computers appear to be infected with a bot
(or virus) and request that they go to the Anti-Virus Center and
follow a set of instructions to assist with removing the bot from
their computer and thereby prevent it from spreading to other users.
This feature and the other components of the Constant Guard Security
program are provided for no additional charge to Comcast High-Speed
Internet customers."
My bet is that if you are using torrents or other services that
compete with Comcast business they will pepper you with notices to
such as extent that you won't be able to use the service. Effectively
a DOS attack in sheep's clothing.
