Not sure if you mean to question the virus in Biology or in computer software, however I shall answer both questions. In biology viruses are actually used to combat new diseases and create cures. The can actually be used also for technology where a virus was actually used in a battery for-to power a device similar to a computer.

In computer software, sometimes people create viruses as almost a hobby. They are they hackers, the thieves, or whatever you want to call them, of the CyberWorld. Viruses can be used to steal information and identities. Viruses have actually been used also to download illegally. The unknown side of viruses is that a good portion of them are actually created accidently. These are most common as boot-sector viruses. However, then can entail other forms as well. Usually they pop up when there are compatibility issues and the computer crashes.

- So to answer, sometimes people create viruses for illegal purposes or sometimes they are created by accident.
