A mammoth army of infected computers is being assembled, but it's unclear
yet what purpose they will be put to.

Wave after wave of malicious email attachments has been sent out since
August, and with average success rates for such mailings, millions of
machines could be compromised, says Internet security firm Commtouch.

Once infected, the computers can be loaded with additional malware that
can perform a range of activities, including spamming, participating in
DDoS attacks, stealing bank credentials and compromising email and social-
network accounts, according to an upcoming Commtouch blog post.


Yeah, the ignorant need to fix this:

http://www.pchell.com/support/spywaretools.shtml

So, grab a free virus scanner and a good malware scanner and fix the
problem, more on to more important things ... in a few minutes you go
from being part of the problem to being part of the solution.

Or, just kick back with SD (special dave), bong toke yourself into
"bitchers heaven" (and, promote the fear of boogeymen, false flag
government operations, rag headed men, CIA paid terrorists, 9/11 type
conspiracies, etc.) and leave it to those more capable ...

Escape "The Matrix", take the red pill, Neo!!!
