[QUOTE="Inquisitive, post: 758610, member: 66478"] In my opinion, as long as you understand what you're doing and you don't really download a ton of fishy pirated stuff then you'll be A-OK with a default deny. I believe that if someone were to regularly be involved in risky activity this would be counterproductive as they would never really know what's malicious or not. Otherwise, if you are a careful user, default deny works just fine. It blocks a lot of malicious payloads from being delivered that you may have not known about. Also, if you're not downloading massive amounts of stuff, it's quite easy to throw something into virustotal or hybrid-analysis if you're worried. And this doesn't even require you to understand reverse engineering. [/QUOTE]
