NoBot is a simple anti-spyware, anti-malware removal tool that targets bots, RATS, miners, keyloggers, and more.NoBot has a standard layout with five tabs including the home page which shows the version, check for updates and more. Other tabs include settings, quarantine, and exceptions. For the most part, getting started, you can jump straight to the scan tab and scan everything or a specific file.NoBot claims that most apps like this scan from a signature while NoBot use heuristics. We don't think this is accurate with heuristics and false detection a pet peeve of ours at MajorGeeks. Many security apps claim to use heuristics alongside signatures, and that's not counting the cloud-based apps. That said, it can scan memory, registry, hidden startup items, and it can detect suspicious file paths. Virus Total analysis and submission are also integrated. Premium features, at $9.99, allow you to scan scheduled startup tasks, module injection, Windows directories, and Windows Security settings.On the first run, we found it to be very slow, and the first thing that NoBots flagged on a clean Windows 10 install was a Microsoft registry key. We decided to run it on our daily machine, since, it's portable. It showed it only scanned 105 files and 59 registry entries. That took 7 minutes and 50 seconds. We'd like more details as to what's being scanned and control over that as it seems like a leap of faith to scan and hope for the best. The good news is that it found nothing, especially no false positives, on the second test.If you remove something by mistake, you should be able to restore it from the quarantine. If it repeats, or you want something ignored, you can add or remove files from the exceptions list.Here's a log file showing what it claims to have scanned:====================-(Scan Summary)-===================Files Scanned: 105Files Found: 0Registry Items Scanned: 59Registry Items Found: 0Total Objects Found: 0====================-(User Options)-==================*Checked Suspicious File Paths**Scanned Registry Startup**Automatic File Submission**VirusTotal analysis*====================-(Files Found)-==================================-(Registry Items Found)-===============We think Nobot is a useful tool for finding tricky malware that others might miss, but we're not sure how effective it is since that would require we find an unknown malware, infect ourselves, then test it. It's unclear what it's scanning and when and the freemium features automatically become questionable because of that. It's a useful tool for advanced users where you are having symptoms of a virus or malware, and your security software says you're clean.
