This may be a little off topic, but don't forget to make sure your routers are secure too, especially if you have upgraded to openwrt or ddwrt or something similiar.  While going through my logs on my firewall I noticed several hits on some specific ports.  When I returned the favour and attempted to connect to them I was let right into a busybox shell on several routers.  Seems it's automated malware that spreads through unsecured routers, probably utilizing the cgi-bin exploit or other ones that have been uncovered.

 

If someone wants to discuss linux security in another thread I would be happy to :)

Eh, I don't use anything. No antivirus, not any cleaners. I know what I download and I know site when I visit there.

Using Intel i5 3570k 4,8Ghz with Noctua NH-D14, 1600Mhz DDR3 8GB ram, N560GTX-Twin Frozr 3 OC/PE version, 60Gb Kingoston SSD+500Gb 7200rpm HD.

Anyways, How do you guys keep a windows clean? My VM windows has gotten attacked about 106 times according to my virus scanner... Also I need to keep my windows API safe, so my wine games can run.
