Why does anyone write a virus? Some do it because they can, others for a specific purpose, for example the virus which made all the infected PCs DoS attack SCO on a specific date.

Some of the most famous viruses of all time where written just because the writer had a really great idea which he wanted to test out, then the virus escaped.

Also I think a fair few people do it for Internet notoriety and 'fame', if a group creates a good zero day virus which eploits a security hole they get alot of respect from the community.

Either way all the people who do it are fucking cunts.

A guy I know got a virus over bluetooth which just constantly filled up his phones memory rendering it useless.
