TrendMicro RUBotted
LBean 14th Sep 2009
You might want to check TrendMicro's RUBotted. I installed this thinking it might be a good idea. Two weeks later it "detected a bot." It instructed me to download some other software to remove the "bot." On attempting to install this software I was informed that I "must" remove SpyBot. When I did that SpyBot had a message stating that TrendMicro could not explain (nor could SpyBot) why Spybot S&D had to be removed.

I smelled a rat and removed RUBotted. None of my other detection programs have detected anything amiss.
