Hi Adam,

My software company currently uses two specific machines
(both running Windows 2000 Pro) as "VNC" machines.
The purpose for these machines is to display two of our software
products, and allow remote login to

Maybe it's not feasible in your situation, and it also may not solve the
entire problem, but an option you could look at is, disabling outbound
Internet access (on your firewall) from that machine's IP, to all ports
except VNC.  That should prevent much of the downloading of adware and such.

Just a thought.
