From Comcast's RFC that's linked in the thread:

> R3.1.1. Must Only Be Used for Critical Service Notifications

> Additional Background: The system must only provide critical notifications, rather than trivial notifications. An example of a critical, non-trivial notification, which is also the primary motivation of this system, is to advise the user that their computer is infected with malware, that their security is at severe risk and/or has already been compromised, and that it is recommended that they take immediate, corrective action NOW.

Not only is Comcast trying to justify this awful practice, they picked one of the worst possible examples to do so. There is no set of circumstances under which a 'You have malware!' popup should be taken seriously.
