A computerworld article cites Joe Stewart, director of malware research at SecureWorks Inc., has estimated the bots on his list control just over a million machines and are capable of flooding the Internet with more than 100 billion spam messages every day.

So that tells me that everybody with a computer and an Internet connection is in danger.

Not only are home computer users not safe but botnets are on education, government and military networks as well.  The criminals that create botnets are worldwide.
