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 pespaces 95 way back in the 95/98 days
I'd say memorising your startup or at least screenshooting it is key.
