I would recommend getting some decent Virus Software as it seems what you have doesn't work, most people are using Avast on Windows 7 and it seems to do a good job.

Avast home free - Google Search

So eset should pick up botnets? Ill run a scan with avast now.

I recommend that you follow the advice of the software that you are using. From their webiste:

Because Bots are typically computer worms (malicious software that can propagate from one computer to another), you must scan and clean your computer with an effective antivirus program to remove them.

If you have an antivirus program installed, download the latest update and scan your computer. To scan and clean your computer for free, visit HouseCall online.

This option does not work for me, i get an error message when trying to download them 1.4mb file that they state needs to be downloaded.

Are you referring to the Java message?

Download ones of these antivirus programs and run the scan to remove the bot
