Compromised Windows Machine Remediation

Hello, I am interested in hearing about experiences with 'cleaning' user-owned and managed computers. When a student laptop/desktop has been blocked from the network due to infection, what do they do? Do institutions provide a help desk environment where the work is done? or do they provide resources for the student for 'self-help'? Is the student on their own to resolve the problems? Is anyone using 'fee-for-service'? If so, what is the user guaranteed to receive? All of the above are used to some extent by departments here. This September, staff have been overloaded with repairing laptops. Also, with the implementation of network registration and patch status checking, sometimes the testing involved will fail on machines that are badly infected and we want to direct the users appropriately. Thanks, Mike Mike Wiseman Manager - Computer Security Administration Computing and Networking Services University of Toronto ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Discussion Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
