ABSTRACT
Once the concern of primarily the security industry, in some way botnets now touch nearly everyone on the globe who has a connection to the Internet. ough not everyone is infected, everyone is at some risk of botnet-related infection or having some portion of their identity whisked away into the underground-often through the use of bots. It is also certainly true that probably everyone who gets e-mail has received a botnet-distributed spam message at one time or another.
