proactive blocking of malware threats

["Youngquist, Jason R." <jryoungquist () ccis edu>]

I'm looking for different solutions out there that can be used in a layered approach to block malware/known malware 
sites before a user's desktop gets infected.

So far, I've come up with only a couple thoughts
--DNS/IP black hole malware sites
--use an appliance specifically designed to detect/block malware such as FireEye 


Other thoughts?


Thanks.
