Censorship of a room-mate situation to me it taboo. The same would be in a family situation, with the caveat of age appropriateness. Take the measures on the boxen you control/own and let your room-mates be your room-mates. You sound like your trying to be their parent or case worker. Tell them the lines are open, everything is logged, if you do something illegal and our service gets shut off you will pay the penalties. As far as their own boxen. They are adults, and if their boxen get infected rent is still due on time, utilities are still due on time, etc. Basically, in your minds settle what sort of 'system administration" you want to give to them. If you decide to charge them half of what a local shop or Geek Squad would charge. Your time is valuable, you have work to do, they screwed over their boxen. Deal with it. Get it in writing as a household addendum, and you could go so far as getting it notarized so if perchance you get stuck with a bill you have legal standing to inform the wonderful "3" credit bureaus.
