I took advantage of Conficker in the media last year to lock it down. Several of the partners had seen the story on 60 minutes, which made my request a slam dunk. A year later, I have no complaints. Although, as part of my lockdown, I had to create a general account that allowed users to have admin rights, when they need them to install software, so it's not as complete a lock down as I would like. That being said, users haven't installed stuff they shouldn't, AND we've had no malware infestations.
