Thank you Shai Thank you for your assistance, it was helpful.
Shai Navé May 2, 2010:
There isn't an official name for this in Hebrew. It can be translated as בוטנט (in the "professional" jargon) which as you can tell is not really a translation, and can also be called רשת זומבים, since bot in this context is a "zombie". To cover all bases I would go with בוטנט (רשת זומבים, באנגלית Botnet), so everyone would recognize it according to the term he/she is most familiar with.
Zmira Hajudge (asker) May 2, 2010:
Your interpretation is correct That's what it refers to, I looked it up in Wiki but could not find the HE term, can I use 'בוטנט' as you called it or should I use Desertfox phrases?
Shai Navé May 2, 2010:
Can you provide a little more context? as it may refer to several things, but most probably, as Deserfox suggested, to a בוטנט, a net of "zombie" computers used for various (often malicious) activities

זחלן רשת או רובוט חיפוש

ברוב השפות האירופיות נשאר כמו באנגלית. ולראייה מה שמופיע בוויקיפדיה.
צריך לכתוב זחלן רשת או רובוט חיפוש
ובלי הקשר נוסף קשה לדעת יותר מזה
יש לדעתי להשאיר
Notnets
בסוגריים כדי למנוע אי הבנה

כתלות בהקשר
יכול להיות שמדובר ברשת זומבים (בוטים)
זה בעקרון תוכנה שמשתלטת על מחשב ומאפשרת להשתלט עליו מרחוק ולנצל אותו
