The next solution or in combination with the first is to create Ghost images and just ghost people's machines when their beyond repair.
The problem here is that you need to know that you have a "good" image. Restoring a machine with a 2-day old image that was taken the day after the malware got *on* the machine just means that you're probably looking at another failure 2 days from now. Also, if you have user data on the machine, you need to remember to back that up via other means - if you're imaging the machine once every week for restores, your user may lose up to 6 days of work if you don't have other backups in place (imaging it every night is probably a bad idea, due to the high risk of ghosting an already corrupted system...)
