Windows machines are notoriously difficult to fully clean. That's why many people end up reformatting the hard disk on them. As Matt pointed out, at least two of the compromised machines are Linux, so it's certainly good to have strict security policies, keep programs fully patched, etc., regardless of what OS one runs.
