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 .

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 !! )

[...] Granted, a good antivirus app should hopefully detect any malware before it gets to this point, but RUBotted provides a nice second line of defense. It’s made to run all the time (and with a 4MB footprint, it’s not that bad), but more people will probably run this on a per-case basis to confirm suspicions. RUBotted is a freeware beta application, Windows only. RUBotted [TrendSecure via MakeUseOf] [...]

I really think that a disservice is done to a majority of internet users by making them believe that this one program, or this one scan, or this special firefox addon, will make them secure from malware. 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.

Nice one Bill, so far whatever I tried from TrendMicro was pretty good. Lets see how this one goes.

Hey Karl,

As I have stated many times in my articles, it’s important to have layered defenses in the ongoing fight against malware.

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.

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. So be aware this is NOT full proof.
