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!!
 
ahhh, my favourite computer related conspiracy :)

ive thought about this on many occasions and still haven't come up with a decent answer for it.
do you blame the antiviral companies or do you blame software manufacturers for leaving gaping holes in their software to entice such behaviour?
on a plus note i read about 6 months ago that symantec (i think) are researching virus scanning methods where they dont need to know what the virus looks like in order to stop it. so does that mean we'll never need to upgrade our antivirus software again?.... i doubt it :D

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...
