Anti Virus Downloads

     A virus is a parasitic program designed to replicate itself within other programs and spread to as many other computers as possible. Virus programs are intentionally written to enter a user's computer without their permission or knowledge. Some virus' simply make a cute graphic or some other cute message, while others are highly destructive.

     I suspect each virus maker has unique reasons for creating a virus. Much like vandalism or arson, the virus maker might wish to see destruction, fame or maybe profits. Many might just want to see if they can.

     While it seems logical that this activity should be illegal, laws must exist before they can be broken. The legal system is just beginning to create laws against computer crimes.

     Each time the virus makers create a new virus, the virus breakers need to determine the computer virus definition in order to find a cure. Since finding the computer virus definition does take a little time, absolute guaranteed protection isn't quite possible. There will always be a period of time when everyone is vulnerable.
