How to tell your computer is a part of a botnet? Hi I was wondering how I can find out if I am in a botnet or not... As protection I am using spybot, nod32, windowsXP firewall ( i know i know it doesn't really work but i still use it. ) I scan with free version of norton once a week nod32 deep scan once a month. And I do a weekly check up with Spybot any chance that I may get infected and none of these programs will be able to catch it? Thanks in advance.

Yeah but this is mostly about spamming...is spamming same with being a part of a botnet?
