Default Viruses and AntiViruses
Ever thought who makes all the viruses that infect thousands of PCs every day?
The answer is simple:

Great enterprise companies like Norton, McAfee, Zone Alarm make the viruses...
you know why?

To make YOU go out and by their antivirus systems

most viruses are mad by 13 - 20 year olds, most with only a basic knowlege of computer programming. they just like the feeling of being "powerful". but most people grow out of it in their 20's!!

Yes that's what I'm saying; so that you'll go and by their antivirus...
This is just a theory by the way, I may be wrong...
