The only tricky part is catching *only* a Bobax and Kibov.  I can guarantee
that if you put the shields down low enough to catch something that beats on
the LSASS, you'll catch something.  The question is whether you'll catch a
Bobax before you have to stop and throw a Sasser or other malware off the
system....

It's kind of like trying to catch a chlamydia sample by banging hookers without
a rubber - you'll probably catch it along with other stuff too....
