John Borland, a reporter for CNET News.com, made the mistake of loading
some software on a Windows machine and hoping it was possible to restore
the trustworthiness of a compromised Windows machine. In the end the
CNET IT department took his computer away and re-installed a fresh
image.

If even well-informed people do this, and can't fix their systems, what
hope is there for the typical Internet user?
