    Okay... proactive processes... let's see.

    Apparently, you don't feel "install patches when they are available and before you get infected" is sufficiently proactive.

    How about "block at the firewall all file types that don't match those you need to transact business", or "restrict your surfing to sites you feel you can trust", maybe even "if it says it's a GIF, but it starts with a WMF header, don't open it". Okay, that last is a little tricky to achieve just now - but an antivirus may exist that does that.

    (for those missing the reference n00ne is calling out, go see Steve Riley's blog, http://blogs.technet.com/steriley/default.aspx, which I'm also stalking in my un-busy time)
