Have hackers recruited your PC?
More than one million computers on the net have been hijacked to attack websites and pump out spam and viruses.
The huge number was revealed by security researchers who have spent months tracking more than 100 networks of remotely-controlled machines.
The largest network of so-called zombie networks spied on by the team was made up of 50,000 hijacked home computers.
Data was gathered using machines that looked innocent but which logged everything hackers did to them.
