what makes you think your computer is " a zombie" ?

why do you think it was compromised ?

that could mean a few things

please define YOUR meaning .

if you mean " booting into SINGLE user mode"
then someone YOU know and has physical access to the computer did something
-- ask them --

cold boot attack typically refers to literally freezing the computer, powering it off, then turning it back on to gain access to encrypted data to access a protected system? if that is what you are talking about, why did you let your computer all into bad people hands?
