how it works

1 create virus
2 infect computers
3 virus logic calls home to who created it
4 user has all infected computers at his disposal

now, imagine wanting to use those computers to mess up someone's site or whatever. Are you going to let anyone have what you worked on for free? I doubt it. As crazy as it sounds, having control of a botnet is a pretty lucrative cash making business.
