A zombie computer (abbreviated zombie) is a computer attached to the Internet that has a hidden software program or backdoor. This backdoor allows the computer to be remotely controlled by others. Some uses for a zombie include conducting distributed denial of service attacks or sending spam, while not revealing an attacker's true identity.
Backdoors are often installed with spammed trojans or e-mail worms.
