This is an interesting thread... But out of curiosity, is it also possible to do backup / restores using readily available linux tools? I'd like to be able to do something like running dd over a network connection, or tar, or whatever other tool. In that case, a bootable CD is all you need.
But I'm unsure how to do that...

one suggestion
make the PC dual boot: Windows and Linux
with the Linux partition larger.

boot Linux and dd the raw Windows partition to a Linux file
boot Windows and play with malware
boot Linux and dd the file back out to the Windows partition
rince and repeat...

I used this method some years back with Win95 and FreeBSD
but I had a very small Win95 partition.
