Description

A good knowledge of the usual services running on the machine can be very helpful. Don't hesitate to ask a Windows Expert for his assistance, when applicable. A good idea is also to have a map of all services/running process of the machine.

It can be a real advantage to work in a huge corporate environment, where all user machines are the same, installed from a master. Have a map of all processes/services/applications. On such environment where users are not allowed to install software, consider any additional process/service/application as suspicious.

The more you know the machine in its clean state, the more chances you have to detect any fraudulent activity running from it.
