In Korea, ISPs often encourage their customers to install programs to access additional services. For example, antivirus and parental control programs are quite common. Parents also use these programs to monitor and restrict their children's gaming and internet usage. Distributing malware as part of the installation process for these services is not difficult for ISPs.

Thanks for your insightful response, the different behaviours across countries is extremely interesting - I don’t think my ISP has ever recommended software like that (though, my isp is targeted at tech savvy people, where I assume this ISP is targeting the masses )
