I don't bother but I do run an online scanner every now and again such as eset antivirus or malwarebytes if I'm feeling paranoid.
I'd also try to memorise every file in my startup but I used to write trojans, password crackers, and other dodgy programs myself when I was teaching myself how to program.
Personally I never went further than dll injection so I might be living in the past. The last virus to wreck one of my systems was pespace way back in the 95 days
I'd say memorising your startup or at least screenshooting it is key.
