With Windows what would you use? Bear in mind that there is no network

There isn't.

Something like tripwire or cfengine would alert on or correct
overwritten system files. A firewall would help reduce infestations.
Having users run as regular users, and not Administrator, would help.
But all of that requires some kind of admin. If this company is too
cheap to pay someone, or get a consultant, IIWY I'd stop worrying about
it. You don't get extra time added to the end of your life to make up
for time wasted on pointless exercises.
