Is there anything that actually gets users to fix their computers?

I doubt this. Recently, I worked with a couple of people that each had 
their PCs infected. Their own virtual neighborhood complained to them, 
and they surely were embaressed about the situation, but... They just 
did not know how to fix it, i.e. where to start. Call it cluelessness, 
call it lack of education.
