What motivates people to create computer viruses?

lack of life

[onesexysquirrel17]

People who are fat, stinky, have bad acne and play World Of Warcraft all day long. They have no potential and no girlfriend. They are sexually frustrated and need to take their frustrations out on people's computers....

You know, I've been wondering this myself. Personally, I think hackers should be stoned to death, because why, other than to be a complete a$$hole, would you create something like a virus to destroy millions of people's PCs out there for absolutely no reason?

[I speak the Truth]

To sell software. I always had a suspicion that viruses, bugs and the rest of the good stuff are created by big companies themselves. ( microsoft ) . Think about it... if they sell you a computer thats going to last you forever they go broke in the first year of business.

Money.

Many enjoy seeing others in misery. This is why they developed the computer virus beacuse they just love to see people like u and me frustrated out of are minds beacuse are stupid computers don't work.

Viruses and the people who write them are very intelligent people and if they used their brains to do something more constructive than trying to destroy everyones computer then they would go very far in life. Some do it for fun!! just to see if they "can" and others do it out of pure malice...
