I've relied on forums.Majorgeeks.com maleware removal thread for updates on best PC practices.

Yay Geeks!

Yeah, we are considering the Steady State on the desktops, it has some issues (like having to install printers everyday), the issue is that staff don't want IT to limit the scope of what they can do. (It is a school distrcit which is very different from a private company), heck the pricipals got all pissy when they had the thumb locks onthe new machines diabled (Duh, it we need your thumb to unlock the machine it makes maintainence very hard.)

Also we only have seven techs in a large district, they don't want to be bothered with all the minutia of installing software for each class room.

If the printers are network devices, I can give you a script to add the printers at logon. If installed locally, then just have them set up prior to the steadystate image. Same goes for the installed software. Essentially, in cases like these logon scripts and group policy settings are your friend.

I am sort of aware of that, however i am a teacher's aide. I have very low permissions and some directory access. the issue is that the tech has a bunch of other buildings and machines to deal with, and how to say this, they are sort of grumpy about stuff like that.

I think that is great that there is a solution however, I can mention it to the tech and se if he will go for it.

(I know enough to get in trouble, but not enough to do anything on the server level. Or scripts, those have to come from the director of IT.)

Ahh, okay. I understand now. Well, you can maybe mention it, but there may or may not be a very good reason why they don't do it that way. I have all my systems under pretty decent lockdown, but on the other hand I don't administer a school system. Different environments might require different measures.

Big problems with this one – Major Geeks took a half-minute to load and the links on their page wouldn’t work. Every time I shut down I’d see rundll32.exe not able to quit message box. Finally drove to the library for a few downloads then got rid of it.

You probably got hit with the latest version. Like I stated before, Vundofix is about a week behind. The jerks that make Vundo keep changing it to counter various fixes.

I did. I got a fresh torrent of AutoCad2009 and paid the consequences. My trial had run out and I had a project due so I paid the price. I deserved it.
