We know which PCs are infected with viruses as they report back to a
central console. We can then remotely clean the box. "Rogue"
unmanaged PCs running without a virus scannner are remotely disconnected
from the switch if they are found to be spewing worm traffic out onto the
network, such as generated by the SQL slammer virus.
