[QUOTE="TairikuOkami, post: 1100397, member: 61892"] That depends, usually a weak dropper tries to download the payload and that is where the firewall comes in, just blocking port 80 alone blocks majority of malware. Hackers do not take firewall into an account, since 99% users do not block outbound and lately there are hardly any real firewalls left. I only rely on DNS and firewall for malware protection along with some OS hardening. [/QUOTE]
