Most malware authors are immature and inexperienced students learning to program. They think that it is fun to write viruses and prank people with them. Other virus writers are seasoned criminal hackers and make viruses to steal your money. They main motive behind making viruses is revenge. They think that the best way to solve their problem for revenge is bymaking a virus and destroying their target's computer. Making a virus solves nothing. It makes you look stupid and immature. You will learn more about programming if you write useful applications instead of trying to figure out how to create viruses.
