He means often Windows Desktop Computers belonging to normal Users @ Home
who just want to use their Computer for surfing the Web (often via MSIE
thats the sad truth) and doing some mails and stuff like that, dont even
care about having Bots, Trojans and other Malware on their machine unless
it disturbs them.
And that is why there are so large botnets which use the resources of some
"small" home computer with your 1 or 2 mbit connection.
but if you replace "some" by "thousands" you'll end up with a capacity high
above some GBits which are commonly used to f.ex. DDOS homepages (learn
more at wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDOS)
I hope I was able to show you that your way if dealin' with the
"trojan-thing" is pretty wrong and harms loads of people out there.
