Botnet

A botnet is a group of computers that are controlled by a bad person. Usually, the bad person uses a special program to take over many computers without the users of the computers realizing it. The bad person can then control all of the computers in the botnet to do bad things, like attacking other computers, sending spam emails or stealing information.

This is a really bad thing to do because it can hurt people and make the internet less safe. So, you want to make sure that you always have a good antivirus program on your computer and that you’re careful about what you download and click on.
