CompTIA Network+ N10-009 Practice Question

Botnet malware fits this scenario as it often involves groups of computers that can be remotely managed (often via a command and control server) to execute coordinated tasks such as sending out spam or participating in DDoS attacks - which would explain the unusual network patterns. In contrast, Trojan mostly focuses on creating secret access points without spreading across networks. Spyware primarily aims to monitor user activities and gather personal data rather than extensively utilizing system resources. Worms are known for their ability to self-replicate and spread independently, which doesn't necessarily involve communication with a command and control server.
