my 2p:
in my years of experience of servicing Windows boxes (thankfully now behind
me!) I have /never/ had a box in which /didn't/ have some sort of malware
infestation. EVERY SINGLE MICROSOFT BOX I've ever serviced, the first thing
I've had to do was clean the fscking thing out. I'd guess somewhere between
40-50% of the time I've looked at the long list of malware processes
running in Task Manager and decided I'd be quicker spending the next four
hours REINSTALLING the thing!

I hereby testify that the above statement is an accurate recollection of the
events mentioned therein.
