Have a customer that keeps getting malware and rootkits on their Windows
computers. What? You've heard that before? Oh, sorry.
Here's a hint. Don't install WhiteSmoke Translator.
I know that a couple of folks on this list have worked with NX / FreeNX.
Is there a remote client to connect
Remote access seems like maybe the wrong direction.
Specifically, remote access will remove things like audio from the mix.
Have you thought of installing vmware player(or whatever it's current name is)
and a image containing a linux distro? Eliminates the network, yet still uses
local hardware
Another option is to run windows in a VM that has been set to rollback all
changes on logout and let them surf there. Yes, another windows license,
but if they won't do Linux it is an option.

Just gotta love it.

We used to have this problem regularly and have minimized it to a very small
number of incidents per year (out of dozens of Windows boxes) by making the
following changes.

I would be careful about using Microsoft Security Essentials if you have
more than 10 computers or VMs. Micro$oft's license for business use of MSE
states that you can only use it on up to 10 computers for free. After that

Yeah I use NX for purposes like that - install NoMachine NX, and on
the client set the session to Custom mode instead of KDE or GNOME, and
set the command to spawn firefox.
