To be clear; we'd like to include all AntiBot functionality into the suite, however anytime we include new technology like this in NIS, it has to get onto the next "train stop". Our major revs of NIS are normally once per year. Instead of waiting, we decided to release it as a standalone. For now, users who want the "latest and greatest" can get NAB. Many people will probably be content to wait until this type of technology makes it into NIS.
That being said, I'd at least recommend that users download a trial of NAB and see if they are infected by a bot. Our data shows that ~10% of all consumer systems are infected.
NAB is especially useful to run on friends systems who you think *might* be infected. Often more advanced and savvy users are careful about what they download, and they are much less likely to be infected. Its the user who knows nothing about PC security, who usually has a horribly infected PC. Those folks are the primary contributor to the ~10% of infected PCs, and those are the folks who should run NAB.
