Well, you could use it to send the hacked windows system a message. Something that'll alert the user there is something terribly wrong and request him to install a firewall and a virusscanner (or switch to a different one). Something that will not damage the system or impare his work even further. It may even remove pollution.

I think this idea is the triumph of hope over experience... :-)
Agreed. Plus, since the scanning will be done in the background, hidden from the user, he/she will never see the message anyway. You might manage to crash something, in which case you'll most likely invoke the default CTRL-ALT-DEL reaction of your typical Windows user :-) Joop
