Bot protection
I occasionally worry that a bot’s taken over my computer and turned it into a spam zombie—I heard the hard drive busily working, even though I’m doing nothing. Of course, it could just be Windows at work on some system task, but I still worry. Now MakeUseOf has a post about a freeware program, RU Botted, specifically designed to protect against bots and detect and remove them. I’m giving it a go.
— “No bots found.” Still, I’m glad to have the program.

RU Botted said I have a bot, but when I try to launch the tool to get rid of the bot, it won’t open. Big help.

Yeah, I’m getting occasional notifications that I have a bot, but then no bot is found. I’m skeptical of the program now.
