All I want to do is compleatly rid the program decided not worth the bother, short of blow my hard drive & reformatting it, and reinstall ( Last Resort !! ) I found that RU Botted is not that great showing something that is not there, I tried to remove it but for some bizzare reason it replaced the icon on my tray .

Karl wasn't saying "this program is no good" or "don't use this application". He was just giving feedback saying that this program was tested, and failed. The only spurious value statements were in your comment, as was some arrogant condescension.

Given the virtual epidemic of malware currently circulating on the Internet, no single anti-malware tool is likely to identify/remove all of the millions of rogue malware that infests the cyber world, which means installing as many levels of functional protection as possible. RUBotted is simply one more layer. A foolproof system of malware protection does not exist. Moreover, I believe your comment is a disservice to the vast majority of Internet users who do not use Virtual Private Networks. Give your head a shake. Bill Mullins Hey Karl,

So be aware this is NOT full proof. I just tried this on a KNOWN botted machine that was running its own vpn encrypting its IRC activities and it did not show up on here.
