The Bat would be the only way to go. We have LOST the hacker-wars. They have won. ANY computer that is attached to the Internet, you should simply assume is always being actively browsed by unfriendlies and any and all information on it and being sent through it is being captured.
The standardization on Windows and so many other key pieces of insecure software means any attempt to secure them is a no-go from the start.
The ONLY way we are going to regain control of our networks is to remove them from the Internet. Stand-alone networks and if want to send a file, you physically move it from one network to the other. We need a new paradigm. The old one has failed.
