Server Down

[choklo]

I just had a thought...

A few days ago I did a complete virus scan and found a trojan horse on my computer. I began to wonder if this could be related to the ddos attack.

Is it possible that the attacker(s) is using players as the bots to take down the server? If so, should we all scan our computers once/day for viruses?

Sorry if this sounds newbish.
