Trend Micro RUBotted is a security program that keeps an eye on your application for potentially unsafe programs, such as bots. Actually, bots are also malicious files that enable internet fraudsters to secretly take over the control of your computer system. Of course, RUBotted does not end its job when it discovers any unwanted program; it actually goes ahead to clean it with HouseCall.

Trend Micro RUBotted 2.0 Beta features some new additions, which include; compatibility with other antivirus products, accessible status and log reports, enhanced cleaning capabilities, and improved detection. This program also interfaces with Smart Protection Network that provides proactive blocking through the Trend Micro Web reputation service in order to be able to identify and block new threats.

I am not actually a big fan of freeware security programs; but since it is fully compatible with most security programs, it is worth being tried. Getting the HouseCall to work the last time it came out was a bit difficult, but this new version appears to have taken care of that. With more bots gradually finding their ways secretly into many computer systems, it is not a bad idea to have a program like this on the system to complement other programs.
