Networks which unite the resources of even millions of infected computers, have the potential to be extremely dangerous – a potential which has not yet been fully exploited. Virtually all this cyber power stems from infected home computers, which make up the overwhelming majority of zombie machines (computers infected with bots from a botnet)  exploited.

You can protect yourself by installing a good antivirus software package including a firewall.  Lately, a new line of software applications have been created specifically to fight this threat. One of them is created by Norton called Norton Antibot.
