LOL. Try this plugged directly into the cable modem using Windows XP Pre-SP2, enable & start every service, and turn off the windows firewall. You can even start an unprotected VNC session if you want to make it quicker.

I am curious about the cause of these infections. I have to assume it's the result of downloading dubious products.
