I think most of us know that botnet scams are getting out of hand but did you know that as many as forty percent of all computers on the internet are bots? That number is staggering when you think about it.

The botnet problem shows no sign of easing. Security firm Damballa pinpointed 7.3 million unique instances of bots carrying out nefarious activities on an average day in January — an astronomical leap from a daily average of 333,000 in August 2006. That included botnet-delivered spam, which accounted for 91% of all e-mails in early March, up from 64% last June, says e-mail management firm Cloudmark.
