IT Observer - Zombie Computers

IT Observer - Zombie Computers

This blog and other computer security sites often refer to "zombies" with respect to computer problems. This article explains in good detail exactly what is meant by a "zombie" and why it is such a problem. As the article notes, if your computer becomes a "zombie" it can do all sorts of bad things, several of which are illegal and may make you run afoul of the law. This is why it is so important to have a firewall on your computer and to keep your anti-virus software updated.
