What's the trick? I haven't had to clean any users of this one yet, but I'm sure the day is coming. Step 1: Never let casual users run under an Admin account.
Step 2: If you use an Admin account (as I do), use a password, and make sure the real Admin account has a password, too.
Step 3: Yeah, an AV helps, but I use AVG 8.5 Free, and some will still get through. I find SpyBot's TeaTimer helps alot.
Step 4: Do your own registry backups.

Frank Herbert's Dune, but the sandworms in that one ranged UP from a couple hundred feet in length, IIRC.
