"Like most worms and viruses, zombie programs largely target machines running the Microsoft Windows operating system."

Besides MS Windows, who else gets targeted by zombie programs? Oh, please do tell!

The issue of rampaging worms and viruses in the computer system has made a very remarkable move by creating its awareness to the world that very soon even the microsoft organisation would be taken up unawares.
The only Key to this problems existing now is to produce an antivirus very specially made programmes to lock up specially areas in the windows and Jv viewers or else would be struck and that means that most computing system has to pay very high to grant acess since the primary motive of the hackers is to make money for thierselves.
MICROSOFT NEEDS TO WAKE UP FASTER

The microsoft incooperation has made a very remarkable impression on people that they are the real devils existing in the computer industry but if we may purse and ask ourselves this rhetoric "if trully they are the wizards why then can't they lock up the hackers from the network?"
The answer is simply because its takes time for a small wizard to grow and when he grows he indeed would be looking for a way to be like its owners in orders the current hackers has be trained by scientist but now they trying to greater than their masters.
I am hereby suggesting for the microsoft incooperation to create a computer programme that can lock hacker from their networks and endeavor to ensure database integrity within their members so as to prevent the internet flaws.
