but then the script that you produce will be made for you own site and they cannot be generalized beyond a point and how will you take care of the variations of the various computers like the servers / secretaries computers / high power workstations  which will all have different startup entries and other help objects. at the most the script will create a report that you can diff and see manually and decide what computers to visit. this in my humble opinion is not good for a big enterprise, there you require something that when run automatically disinfects and cures all the other malware when it detects it, can be updated from one central location and be run from a login script - this would a solution that is required.
