Anyone who asks this question has obviously never been a nerd.
You don't try to write what you think people want -- you write what you want to, and people who are like you will read it!
Viruses can duplicate themselves because of the code that is written into the virus. Viruses are designed often times and self replicate so that they are hard to get rid of. People that write viruses have nothing better to do with their time it seems and they want to cause damage. If the virus keeps duplicating itself, it can do more damage then it would if it ran only once.
I'm sorry, but what? Why would you want to keep viruses as a "pet"? You mean to keep them and then use them against other people? Infecting people with viruses is illegal.
not if you don't want to get cootes enonamus
There have been stereotypes regarding who writes computer viruses, but the truth is the people who write computer viruses come from various walks of life. However, the majority of virus writers do tend to be male between the ages of 14 and 24.
There are hundreds of thousands of viruses out there (if not millions) and they often designed for different objectives. Most of them fall under the following categories: *To take control of a computer and use it for specific tasks *To generate money *To steal sensitive information (credit card numbers, passwords, personal details, data etc.) *To prove a point, to prove it can be done, to prove ones skill or for revenge purposes *To cripple a computer or network By: Tasmanian Devil & Angel
well you can write what you feel.your feelings and not what other people want you to.
some people write to him for wish lists but he already knows what you want.
People who they want to thank and extend their gratitude.
Because the people that write the coding for viruses continually update it to try and get past you AVP (Anti Virus Program).

Viruses have the ability to greatly affect life on earth. Many viruses, such as HIV and influenza have killed millions of people. By studying viruses, scientists are able to develop vaccines that will protect people (and animals) from viruses.
