When a computer is infected with a malware bot, it is often referred to as a "zombie" or "bot." These infected machines are typically part of a larger network known as a "botnet," which cybercriminals use to carry out various malicious activities, such as launching distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks or sending spam. The compromised computer can be controlled remotely by the attacker without the owner's knowledge.
