Whom in your opinion is responsible for creation of new computer viruses. I have listened that Anti-virus companies themselves are responsible for creation of new virus for sale of their product.Do you agree with my thinking or you have some other view point.

I personally think that the one exposing our self from all this virus are the anti-virus software as well. I guess its their way of selling there products. I remember one type some person who made an I love you virus, he is a Filipino and he was summon to work for a company which we don't know to I guess make some virus pattern inorder to spread in the internet. Making virus will cost you a fortune as well.

May be you are right. There may be some extra-smart kids but I think they cannot make big viruses.Thanks for response.

That doesn't really make sense though, becuase why would antivirus companies make new viruses that get past their own product, it would give their product a bad name and people wouldn't buy it. Even if they updated it, people would remember that it failed them that one time.
I think they're created by those that claim to create them, hackers.
