NIC status light on the computer and the Internet status light on her DSL modem have been
extremely active. What do you suspect?
A. Her computer has been compromised and is being used as a zombie.
B. She is sending an excessive number of e-mails to friends and family.
C. Her computer is infected with a dialer.
D. Her computer is being subjected to a phishing attack.

compromised computers being used as spam relays or as part of a distributed denial-of-service
(DDoS) attack on a host on the Internet.
