Yes, that would be the methodology, but it should be done in a 
controlled environment. Some, and now perhaps most, of our squid 
traffic is legitimate.

What is needed is a network "clean room". A fresh Windows install with 
monitored outbound access. Using Outhouse Distress, activate a known 
virus email, watch what it does. Using Internet Exploder, visit a known 
malicious IIS site, and see the results.
