[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 109138, post: 1084427"] Standard firewalls will not help once a legitimate application or your system has been infected as partially discussed here. At this point you need solutions that can analyze outbound communications for certain patterns,behaviors and reputations, as malware will use well known protocols like FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, and SMTP, to communicate out to the C&C. The solution needs to be capable of predetermining attack patterns and have created signatures for these. Such methods to help determine malicious from legitimate traffic from legitimate applications. One such method of determination is the reputation of IP addresses being connected to outbound. Traditional firewalls have no way to employ these type of methods, you need advanced solutions with pattern, behavior and reputation based threat detection. [/QUOTE]
