Virus makers do my head in, but what makes it worse is they don't even get punished. The fucker that made the Sasser worm I think it was was caught and they didn't even charge the little prick because 'he was probably never gonna do it again.' They should have stricter laws, and castrate anyone caught purposely distributing and creating viruses, or at least cut their knees off or something.

good thing about virus writers is they're usually fat, so they aren't very hard to chase. to find them, just turn up at the world's biggest anime convention (look for the guy in the leather coat. Yeah, the ridiculous looking one). hook line & sinker!

Why do people make viruses? It's just dumb!

An old account of mine, recently cleared out. It's a blast to the past, the age was marked as 14 when I found it. If you know where to look, you can track me. Au revoir.

Not in winter.

Only problem is, what with obesity on the rise and all, it's getting harder and harder to find the nerds who make computer viruses. Although usually it's quite easy to find the guys who get the viruses and release them on the world like the idiots they are...

I've heard some companies make virusses just so they can make anti virus progs that remove them and make money that way...

I've read that more than 50% of writers make viruses just for the thrill of creating something that can "live" on its own. Less than 5% make them to actually intentionally cause mass digital destruction.

Anyhow's I don't see a point in writing viruses.A waste of time I say.
