My computer is bare bones OS and office only. Everything else is either installed and run, or portable (as in portable apps, run from its own directory.) I use Deep Freeze to essentially make my computer it's own virtual machine. Once rebooted or shut down, it reverts back to it's "clean" state.
I don't use Skype or Yahoo messenger or any other software. If I have to use them, I download the app, save it somewhere, reboot (optional), install the app, use it, then reboot or shutdown as appropriate.
Now, my computer could be subject to some zero day malware, but I find that unlikely. I almost always sit behind some hardware firewall (router) and the other computers in the network have different anti-virus / anti-malware installed.
Or I could always take a look at GMER. (rootkit detector).
