Location: Florida.. | bots can perform run the gamut from sending spam to blasting Web sites off the Internet as part of a coordinated "denial-of-service" attack. Since a bot infected computer does the bidding of its master, many people refer to these victim machines as "zombies."
Bots sneak onto a person's computer in many ways. Bots oftentimes spread themselves across the Internet by searching for vulnerable, unprotected computers to infect.
Dont ever click on words or links they attach or underline.. |

Location: LuluLand~along I64 Indiana | thank you for the description bibs.... we have "times" where the bots have hit us prety hard and then lull times. i have seen as many as 38 alerts from our bb's on a given morning when logging in to clear them out. please as it states do not click on any of the linked words and keep hitting that alert button. it is super easy at that point to clean them up.  |
