What is botkano.info?

The internet is swamped with rogue websites such as botkano.info. This site is very similar to verifycaptcha.com, adoptimismyto.club, newpush.support, and many others. Its main purpose is to force users to visit other dubious websites or display dubious content.

People do not generally visit botkano.information intentionally - potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) redirect them to it. Furthermore, people usually install PUAs inadvertently. PUAs then go on to cause unwanted redirects, deliver advertisements, and collect information relating to users' browsing habits.

What is AutoRun Gen?

AutoRun Gen is the generic name of threat detection by various anti-virus tools. Depending on the anti-virus (AV) suite and its database, AutoRun Gen can be detected under different names (e.g., "INF/Autorun.gen", "Trojan.AutorunINF.Gen", "INF.AutoRun", "INF:AutoRun-gen", etc.).

Since, the names are similar, however, no matter which AV suite you are using, determining that AutoRun Gen was detected is quite simple. Depending on the situation, this warning message might be a "false positive", indicating that the detected file is in fact legitimate (clean). If, however, the detection is not false, your computer is probably infected with a worm-type virus.
