Botnet is software, or parts of software, that runs on your computer to other's advantage without your consent, usually in the form of data collection.
Commercial software often has built-in data collection to the company and/or affiliated 3'rd parties' advantage, sometimes without your knowledge or consent, in which case it may be called botnet.

"Nah man, Windows 10 is botnet"
