The botnet who infected over 1.6M IP addresses on March 2011 was a big threat to everyone and Microsoft focused on taking it down (Operation b107) and reduced 56.12% from March to June 2011.

But these guys are much more into money than fun. They use their infected computers to send spam emails for viagra products or anything they would earn money from any products.
