"Even when every single email has unsubscribe instructions at the bottom."
In a perfect world, this would work just fine, but...
What about those you use the replies (via the unsubscribe request) for verifying that your email address is in fact valid (and active)? Then, instead of unsubscribing to an email, you end up receiving 10,000 more emails since you've just informed the sender that they have found a valid and active email account??
Hopefully some other heavy-weights will join in. One hat in the ring, even though it is a big hat, may not be enough to forestall the greed of "the Dark Lord"!!
At a Federal Agency (US) that will remain nameless, they have gone to great lengths to approve applications that get along with a standard operating environment and severely limit the use of applications not in that list. They don't go quite as far with taking machines off the network if they don't have updates/patches, as your company does, even though it is being discussed. There are quite a few limitations put on what types of files can be emailed, what sites on the internet that can be viewed (if the user even has permissions to access the internet).

Will Trojan make specially lined products to be used to clean them?

Let me ask you a simple question:
Would you feel safer with a machine toting a WMD based on the Linux OS or the Windows OS?
Enough Said...
