> Reinstalling an OS is not really, really bad. It's an inconvenience.
Reinstalling an OS is not nearly enough. You have to reinstall all of them, without letting the "dirty" ones contaminate the clean part of your network; you have to re-obtain all of your binaries; and good luck trusting any local source code.
The way most places are organized today, getting computers infected is a potentially unfixable issue.
