Abstract
Today's Internet is widely spreading in every part of the world. As the number of internet users increasing, the number of people with bad desires increasing. Botnet is such a group of infected nodes on worldwide network. Bot master spread viruses and utilizes the network resources of the nodes, which have been contaminated or infected by Bot herder. Effect of this is to slow down the internet speed and illegal utilization of personal documents of bots. As the size of Botnet becomes large, it will be difficult to trace out the Bot herder. This research will hand out a preface to the Botnets, its major type Zeus Botnet and its sound effects on the network security. We also propose some ways to detect as well as remove the effect of Zeus Botnet to personal computers.
