Hi to the forum members,

How can I tell if I have bots on my PC? At this time I use ZoneAlarm security suite which includes firewall, antivirus and anti spyware programs. I also use
Spywareblaster and Superantispy programs. If I find bots how should I get rid of them? What programs do you recommend to scan and delete bots?

Posted Image Hi :



The PRIMARY program I would use looking for "Bots" would be "SUPERAntiSpyware" ;

however, a while back I heard of a program SPECIFICALLY developed to look for Bots

named "Rubotted" , but have no idea how good it might be . A Starting Point to investigate

this program would be on the Developer's Site at www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/tools/security_tools/rubotted .

If ZA finds threats, remove them.


What Operating System are you running?

Also run your virus scans and also your adware scans to make sure nothing is on the computer.

Try using malwarebytes to take care of adware/ malware. And get your self a good antivirus trust me!
