Blocking Facebook, Myspace, MyYearbook, YouTube and the like will vastly bring down the infections on business computers. The business we administrate see a drop almost to zero when policies are set to weed out "distractions" from the network. Amazingly, productivity increases as well.

I would recommend strongly NOT to image an infected drive. Starting from scratch and manually redoing drivers and software is the way to go fo' sho'

Well we use imagecast, which basically pulls a XP install from our server. We usually pull the info, then format the drive then image it.

I will have to forward some of that info to our network guys. I know they have blocks on some stuff, but do allow facebook because it is a college environment, and the students often use that.
