RUBotted Checks Your Computer for Zombie Bots

Lifehacker:

“Windows only: Freeware application RUBotted monitors your computer for
the presence of malware zombie bots and alerts you of any suspicious
activity. A common and popular form of malware, bots turn an infected
computer into a zombie of sorts that will perform tasks in the
background when directed by the maker of the virus. Often a network of
bots will be used to send spam or participate in denial-of-service attacks. RUBotted monitors your computer for suspicious, bot-like activity and alerts you if it thinks you may be infected.

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.”
