I'm posting this to let you all know that poor Robbie as i call him, you'll know him better by the name 01001001, Robot v2 .

Well the sad news is Robbie was attacked by a trojan(Dialer) on my computer and no matter how hard the repair bot(spybot search and destroy) tried he couldn't remove the trojan or repair poor Robbie and the only thing that was left to do was to remove poor Robbie from my computer via the add/remove.
There was a tearful moment for all when i finally hit the button for the removal process to take place because Robbie brought many smiles to my face with his comical expression.

Bye Robbie you'll be missed my Friend.

Now to be serious.
Yes i did get a trojan(dialer) on my system which was found in the uninstall.exe of drac's bot 01001001, Robot v2 i used Spybot search and destroy and spysweeper, that is the way i found it. I removed Robbie(01001001, Robot v2) from my system but luckly i kept a backup copy of him :)
So be warned all spyware will hide anywhere even in a poor harmless bot like Robbie. PS: The trojan(dialer) was not installed when i first installed the bot, it did NOT come within the .exe file for the bot.
