[QUOTE="zidong, post: 1100289, member: 115014"] Isn't it the opposite? If you have installed a program that you trust, does it matter if it connects outside - video and audio players, games, messengers, torrent clients? If the program is malicious then you are f*ck3d even if all antivirus scanners reports no infection. The first thing I will do is a clean installation, changing passwords and enable 2fa. So who cares for outbound, when your pc is compromised? You'll have to do a clean install anyway and change your passwords. About the test...are all protection modules turned off except the windows firewall? If yes then this test is more useless than TPSC's tests. I'm interested in prevention, not the other way around.
