Hello, I am running a windows 7 professional 64bit operating system. My main security suite is Symantec Norton Internet Security 2011. I run RuBotted. I also scan with Superantispyware weekly, and Malwarebytes. In addition, I run the free version of Winpatrol. Today, I noticed RuBotted had alerted and it is showing "Possible Kraken Bobax" infection, and says Botnet Malware cannot be removed.

Any info on what to do would be appreciated.

JJ

what does Super Anti-spyware and Malware Show, and I have never heard of RuBotted.

My work schedule is as follows: Mon and Tues 1800 to 0600, Friday - Sunday 1800EST to 0600, and Wednesday to Thursday 1800est to 0600. So if I do not respond right away I am at work.

They only show what they usually do which is tracking cookies, then they eliminate them. Rubotted is here http://free.antivirus.com/rubotted/

there is a really simple log which just says Possible Kraken Bobax - unable to remove. You can click on Possible Kraken Bobax which takes you to a Trend Micro web page called Threat Encyclopedia. In the treat encyclopedia it says that they cannot find any results for possible kraken bobax. It is puzzling how a Trend Micro product can alert to a possible bot, and then fail to know what the bot is or have any mention of the bot in their threat database.
