Sheesh, some people...
We've been getting loads of these at work - salespersons with windows laptops

Personally I have suggested that we identify the systems and then ring-fence them...

Once they realise they have no net access, they contact support, who tell them to update the AV software, then bring it to the support guys who will verify all is ok before re-allocating them to a normal IP

Unfortunately our support guys were none too keen, apparantly they don't want to upset the sales director....
