A bot is a type of malware that infects large numbers of computers so an attacker can remotely control them over a network. Infected machines are directed to carry out coordinated attacks such as DDoS campaigns or mass spam distribution. Key preventive measures include antivirus software, avoiding suspicious websites, and not opening attachments from unknown senders; disk encryption alone provides no protection against bot infection.
