It is estimated that 11 percent of all computers have turned into zombie computers either collecting personal information from the computer on a regular basis or used to create spam and send it to other computers. It is reported that some infected computers are now automatically buying stuff online using stolen credit cards. The best defense is to keep your virus protection up-to-date, but I keep wondering in the back of my mind if any of my computers have become !!!zombie computers!!!
