Mirage Anti-Bot 1.0
Protect yourself from the ZeuS malware family with this simple security tool

Mirage Anti-Bot is a compact antivirus tool with a single, simple aim: to prevent you from accessing websites infected by the ZeuS Trojan.

The program's simplicity means it's relatively lightweight, so there's no annoying browser toolbar here to slow you down or cause other problems. Instead Mirage Anti-Bot just regularly downloads the abuse.ch ZeuS blocklist, then checks the sites you're accessing to make sure they're all safe, and blocks any that aren't.

The fact that the program is relying on a secondary list (even a good one) is of course a problem, because if you visit a site that hasn't made it to the abuse.ch blocklist yet then it won't be able to help you. So Mirage Anti-Bot is no substitute for a full antivirus tool with proper real-time browsing protection.

However, Mirage Anti-Bot's simplicity means you'll be able to run it alongside your existing tool without any conflicts. It barely used 3MB of RAM on our test PC. And while the program is a little limited right now, the author says he'll be adding support for blocking other malware, including SpyEye and Palevo, very soon.

Verdict:

Mirage Anti-Bot is a simple way to add an extra layer of security to your PC. It's a little limited right now, but once it's expanded beyond ZeuS then this could become a genuinely useful browsing protection tool.

Spotlight: Free Full Software

Giveaway: WinISO Standard 6.1.0

Free Full Commercial Software

WinISO is a very comprehensive tool which provides everything you need to create, edit and convert disc images.

If you've an image file already, for instance (ISO, CUE/ BIN, NRG, MDF, CCD, IMG and DVD formats are supported) then you can open it in a click or two, browse the image contents, and extract the files you need with a quick drag and drop.

It's just as easy to create new ISO9660, UDF, even HFS+ images. Just choose the option you need, then either manually build up your preferred file and folder structure; drag and drop your files and folders from Explorer onto the program; or create an image directly from a CD, DVD or Blu-ray disc.

Of course you can edit images, too. Is an ISO file too large for your needs, say? Open it up, locate and remove any surplus files to free up a little space.

WinISO program has full support for reading and creating bootable image files. A simple conversion tool makes it easy to convert disc images into the format you need. And the program can even mount ISO files as Explorer files, or burn images to disc when you're ready to save them.

Please note, this trial version of WinISO Standard will not save files greater than 500MB in size.

Giveaway: on Wednesday, we're giving you the full current version of WinISO Standard 6 worth $29.95. The download link here will take you to Downloadcrew Giveaway.
