Hmm. Well, my fear of zombies is bad enough that Shaun of the Dead terrified me, but then I do tend to be a lot better with the written word rather than visuals.
There are elements of mind control to the virals (they seem to be linked mentally), but honestly, the term zombie never occurred to me in this context until I read your comment. I can't think of anything else that might be termed zombie-like. There are a couple of points where they act like an army, if that would bother you?
You get some idea of the mind control aspects in the first section, before there are any virals proper - maybe that would help you, or Yebisu, to judge? I can give page numbers for my copy, if you like. I definitely don't want you having any panic attacks over the book!
