Why do people create virus? Who do this?

683917_65810582Virus?? Here what I mean by virus is a Computer Virus. According to a Wikipedia a Computer Virus is. Well, I am not a professional Virus creator, but a few years back, I had created a virus and that was just for fun with my friends and it grew larger than I had ever imagined. But before I could realize my mistake, it had covered almost the south Asia. It was just a simple malware and that did nothing bad, instead it just created some file in system drives and other drive partitions. I used to get lots of emails asking for help to remove it and I did.

I could realize how much trouble people gets when one is infected with a malware in his/her PC with the terrifying common name VIRUS. But, up to now, I could never learn why do people create virus. Some say that the anti virus software companies creates virus and then release the updates to their program to increase their sales, but I really don’t know if its true or not. Some say, they just do for fun like me… lol… some say, they just do as a part of their mission and some say, they do coz they got to prove themselves and as a part of practice or like that..hmm.

But, however is the virus they attack sequence is the same. The basic programs they like to attack is Registry System, Task Manager, Window Explorer, Internet Explorer, System Restore Functions, Command Program and some special files in System Folder. And their basic medium of infection is Internet, LAN and Pen Drives(Removable drives).

Sometimes I get very very annoying virus in my PC. They are neither detected by the updated anti virus nor they are completely removed and I have no other option than to format and reinstall OS. Nowadays I am getting bit clever and I ensure that the PC where I am connecting my pen drive is not infected and I don’t double click my pen drive. My system restore and system updates are off.

I hope, you are safe :)

Of course because they want to show off that they are genius in computer programming or for the money from identity they stole
