With all these viruses doing the rounds, one has to wonder how concerned the anti virus vendors are. I appreciate that the creators of most viruses are very sad people, but it does beg the question as to whether the market is fed by the AV people.
After all, if there were no viruses or malicious code, the people who fight them would have no sales and there would be no industry for them.
Do the people who write the virusus realise that they are actually creating revenue and business for the AV companies, by virtue of the fact that virtually every sensible computer owner has up to date AV software.. Are they in league with them ??
It stands to reason that the AV companies welcome new strains of this and that.. Does make one wonder.
