Have you analyzed exactly what file/registry access is needed, so you could
grant just that instead of full Admin rights? It sounds as though that'd be
time well spent.

How did they get it in the first place? If they are local admin's then
they
will re-infect themselves again shortly.
Unfortunatally local admin access is required for many of the apps
they need to run.
We've done tons of research and yelled at the vendors, but to no
avail. The main app that everyone uses is the biggest problem with
needing it and they have 15 years of data in it. No way to get them
off of that..
