Then this post should have been titled "AOL users most likely to have their machines made into zombies", not "AOL Users Most Likely to Make Zombie of Your Computer".

The title you used implies that AOL users are attacking machines and making them zombies, which is not the case.

AOL machines are launching DOS attacks because they ARE zombies.
