Your question is a bit ambiguous, but I'll try to split it into a few sections:
Creating a virus isn't unethical, just frowned upon my the majority of society because of the negative connotations given to the term "virus" and "hacker".
Distributing a virus isn't unethical, the activation of CERTAIN viruses is unethical.
Some viruses can be used to actually help a system. Norton and McAfee employ viruses and virus derivatives to search for certain causes of viruses, etc.
Other viruses destroy and manipulate files and THESE are the unethical ones most people talk about.
For an example of a helpful virus, think of the code:
del *.*
This will effectively destroy every file of every type from the computer it is activated on. If you modify the file however, you can help your system like so:
del *.jpg.exe
This code will destroy every file ending in the extension .jpg.exe. In case you haven't seen this extension often it's because it's used as a primary means of distributing viruses. Only the FINAL extension is shown so most people will see "Awesome Pic.jpg" and open it, not knowing that it's actually a harmful virus program.
Hope this helps!
