We had a trojan horse and a klez virus screw up two perfectly good 80 gig vaios! Good thing we had a warranty. Too bad we had to exchange the 80 gig for a 60 gig. I hate viruses.
Spyware now dominates our current computer, and some of it is bypassing the anti spywayre software! ARGH!

People do not only get personal satisfaction when they build viruses, which is still probably a very good feeling....
They also may bother poeple that they do not like.
Or they may gather data that they may want.
Or they may get free things from it.
Or they may shut down a major thing that they do not like
Or they may make it go through banks and gain money from it.
And there are so many other reasons these people may create viruses, but I cannot list them all.

Of course I still cannot stand them myself, and I still get them from time to time...
I never had a major disaster, but I hope to not have anything more than space/time consuming viruses, but as it would be, I will always get more.
Please note: I do not make computer viruses.
