Free Anti-Bot Scanner from Spectrum Cable

Customers of Spectrum Cable can get free security software that they call Security Suite. Part of that software package is a program called Anti-Bot Scanner. However, you do not have to install the Security Suite software to use it. Just go to this page:

https://www.spectrum.net/security-suite … c-cbm-0118

Scroll down toward the bottom until you come across the Anti-Bot scanner, click it to download the installer and then run the program. It only takes a couple of minutes and it scans the hard drive and memory. I am a Spectrum customer, but it doesn't appear that you have to be a customer to use it.

Re: Free Anti-Bot Scanner from Spectrum Cable

Hi all!

When hovering my mouse cursor over the download link at Spectrum Cable, it appears that the Anti-virus vendor F-Secure developed the said scanning software.

Re: Free Anti-Bot Scanner from Spectrum Cable

As I am not a Spectrum customer, I decided to try it and it ran successfully, and can therefore confirm the above-mentioned statement, but as expected, it did not find any bots on my system.

Re: Free Anti-Bot Scanner from Spectrum Cable

F-Secure does not list the AntiBot Scanner on it's product download page but the address (http://download.sp.f-secure.com/charter … canner.exe) indicates it is actually CharterOnlineScanner. It is not uncommon for some security vendors to use technology created by other vendors and call it something else.
