Everyone knows that computer viruses are evil! They do so much damage to everyone's computer everyday. But what i want to know is, why are there people out there in the world that are actually creating these viruses and sending them out to torment us all? Shouldn't there be a way to stop this from going on? ash
Your question is kinda like asking why people vandalise property - It could be for kicks, boredom, to see what happens, frustration, hate, anger, getting back at 'the system', some excitement etc Virus creators are no different to vandals. Most virus are now created with the intention of inserting backdoors into computers so they can be controlled -for spamming, criminal gangs, deviant webmasters etc Very few 'viruses' are created just to be annoying!
I believe lots of viruses are created by people hired by the companies who make the antivirus software. Of course I may be wrong.
