Dont be under the impression that Zombie horde is something related to Zombies and etc,etc..
Then what is this Zombie horde ??
Actually knowingly or unknowingly through all the computers connected in internet we are distributing spam in the internet which is being used as a pawn in coordinated internet attacks, hosting illegal files, or otherwise part of the malware-distribution network known as the zombie horde.
According to some estimates there are about 55million e-mail spams being sent daily of which most of the Pc's are infected Pc's .. This spam is sent into internet without the knowledge of the user ..
These mal-ware infected pc's act as slaves to a master controller via internet thus called zombies these pc's are perhaps the biggest security threat on internet now-a-days..
Now the FBI wants to resolve this issue !!
And their approach would be nothing but contacting those million infected systems in internet and inform them that their computers are infected and are being hijacked for nefarious uses..
Their main goal is to track-down the source of all these infections spread and put the person behind bars..(This mission is called Operation Bot Roast)..
A general advice given to all the Pc owners using internet is ----->>>>
Protect yourself against malware and viruses by using the appropriate security tools, and take extra precautions if you find your PC running slowly or sending emails you didn't create (check your Sent Items folder!).
