Why Do People Write Viruses? by DaBoss on Friday, March 1st There are many reasons why people write viruses, from simple boredom to criminal activity for making money. Back in the dim mists of time, most virus writers were people who just wanted to test the system and push the envelope. They delighted in finding a way to insert their code into places where others might not find it and held contests of sorts to see who could do what the fastest during various conferences. Another common reason in favor of writing viruses was to “punish” users for some perceived infraction. The Brain virus, for example, was said to have been written to punish users of illegal copies of software (software pirates). Users could become legitimate by contacting Brain Computer Services for help. With the advent of virus writing kits more people entered into the picture. These were largely the bored who had too much time on their hands and decided to spend it making and distributing viruses just for the heck of it. Many of these people could not actually program one if they had to; they just used the kits and put in different parameters and then sent whatever came out on their way in the hope of getting their name mentioned somewhere.

Comments: David Siefker said this on 2014-03-17 At 12:50 pm Like everyone else I have been a victim of computer viruses at one time or another. They are annoying in the least and destructive at its worst. I personally would like 10 minutes alone in a locked room with anyone who writes computer viruses for whatever purposes. I have often said there should be a special place in Hell for people who write computer viruses. Harsh to admit, I know, but I have no love for these personality types who hurt other people and their businesses. Sulaiman said this on 2014-04-06 At 09:27 am Sometimes I am thinking, if there is no viruses. How antivirus programs owners will have money? Like all of us when a job goes away, we find another job. What’s more, with the programming talent AV companies should have no trouble figuring out another product to develop/support. So, I’m for virus writing as a means of having a job. Christopher said this on 2014-04-29 At 08:44 pm It’s a shame that the people writing these viruses don’t use their intelligence to help improve the quality of the internet rather than attempt to ruin it for everyone else. What a waste of talent. John Said this on 2014-05-05 At 11:50 pm What a terrible life a person must live that they enjoy creating tech. issues for other people. What happens when I or someone else tries to put in an honest day’s work? I am coming after you! Not as an individual, but as a law.
