Didn't BT say that if the user does not agree or disagree to the popup, then they will have a dead internet connection.
Most PC's (from PC world, etc) come with Norton installed and some ISPs provide security software with a firewall.

BT are moving on this one, and redesigning their trial on the fly to bring in a cookie free way of not being in the trial. They haven't finally confirmed that it will be ready for the trial, but I can't see them launching a trial dependent on an opt-out cookie. (unless they are really really stupid...)
They have NOT yet clarified what will be happening to the web traffic of non opted-in customers in this retrofitted system, or whether non opted-in customers will get their browsing broken by blocking the webwise related domains. In fact they have left all the really important questions very vague. Their latest date for starting the trials is by May 26th.
They haven't said how the Webwise invitation will arrive or where or when or what the page will say. I'll let you know anything I find out by posting here.
And yes - I realise that whatever they do, the trial will still be illegal. And I've told them that again today through several routes.
