Computer Viruses were not discovered. They are written by hackers and people who develop software and just get them out there to see if they work. They are usually always harmful and malicious. It is an absolute must to always have anti virus software running on a computer. Without it, in most cases, within 1 hour of Surfing on the internet, your computer could be hopelessly infected. BUt without the people that write viruses, we would not have the people who write the software that blocks,eliminates,and destroy them. Most everything we have available to us on computers are all created by "hackers".
