They can never stop this by catching crooks (teenagers). It's a waste of police
resources (taxpayers' expense) and it's like using a bucket to prevent the
Titanic from drowning. 

They need to address the problem at its source (quarantine Windows). It's not
built to be secure. It can't be saved and even Microsoft considers starting
all over.
