Thanks! I have a DNS lookup blacklist but I am a little bit paranoid,I also use linux so now that i think about it I really don't need it. Why the hell did an anti-virus cross my mind. Thanks for the answer. B.t.w I listen to black sabbath ?

Last place I worked (an enterprise) that was their AV.  I guess it worked.  But they had some tight internet filters (which helps too).

Sophos is a big player.

 

Don't run as admin/root

Don't disable UAC 9though its not hard to bypass)

 

 

I'll give a +1 on the MS security. (plus EMET, if ya wanna dig deep)  Its caught every payload with any encoding and iteration(s) from mspayload or msfvenom I've thrown at it. (metasploit's dealio to make a payload to compromise a box)

 

Tough it hasn't caught a few key loggers.

 

Only virus/malware I ever got was on a Linux box.  Don't feel you are safe with linux or Mac, its a false sense of security.  (just look at the metasploit modules)

I want a way to know if my box is compromised. I know that there is no safe space on the internet but I want to know if my pc is clean. I monitor the ip connections with netstat to see if my pc is going places it shouldn't but that doesn't satisfy me. There are more than one way to infect a pc and I just want to take some extra precautions.
