Trend Micro RUBotted

[homecomputeraid]

If your computer has been infected with a Bot, you could unknowingly play a role in a Denial of Service attack when the Bot Master or Bot Herder that "owns" your machine attacks someone. Trend Micro has a free utility called RUBotted that checks for Bot infections and warns you if you have one. It's a small utility available here:

There's an icon for RUBotted Beta in the lower right of the page.

Is this as good as Spybot S & D? :D

Andsome,

I don't think it is a substitute for other malware detection software. It's a small program like SpywareGuard:

which runs in the background and lets you know if you're infected with something.

I haven't had any warnings from it so far, but I'm pretty careful.
