RUBotted monitors your computer for potential infection and suspicious activities associated with bots. Bots are malicious files that enable cybercriminals to secretly take control of your computer. Upon discovering a potential infection, RUBotted will identify and clean them with HouseCall.

RUBotted features improved detection of unknown versions of bot clients and better cleaning capabilities for infected machines. Compatible with other antivirus products that may already be installed in user systems, RUBotted allows for seamless integration at no cost.

RUBotted also interfaces with Smart Protection Network that provides proactive blocking through the Trend Micro Web reputation service to help identify and block new threats. It is capable of detecting known and unknown variants of known botnet families including some of the most notorious botnets today:
· ZBOT/ZeuS – bank information stealer
· KOOBFACE – most successful Web 2.0 botnet
· WALEDAC – infamous spamming bot

The Trend Micro RUBotted application was designed to be a small tool that runs on your computer, watching for bot related activities.
