Computer Viruses can do damage to people's computers. They can destroy important data. This can have all sorts of affects, from personal inconvenience through to disrupting the operations of major organisations and vital services. The creators of these viruses may get their kicks or some sort of "buzz" from doing this, but they are achieving nothing positive. Many of those that write viruses are highly skilled computer people, who unfortunately use their talents in a negative way. They are in effect a form of technological vandals. Their work may not be as evident as those doing things like breaking windows, damaging public property or theft, but they do have negative and often far reaching consequences. So creating computer viruses, like any other sorts of needless vandalism and criminal activity, is unethical.
Creating a computer virus is unethical because viruses do things on people's computer's without their permission. Creating and distributing a computer virus would be like using their computer without their consent. Also, depending on what the computer virus does, you could incur a number of other ethical problems - like stealing, harassment, etc.
WikiAnswers does not provide information on illegal acts, such as writing computer virus programs.
Because they can cause harm to major computer systems like the data kept in a hospital or in a major government institution. And because they are REALLY ANNOYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is generally considered unethical because computer viruses and other malicious programs harm other people's computers, which are other people's property. They also can violate other people's privacy, and also that you are accessing their computer without their permission.
There could be many reasons. The computer could have a malfunction and accidentally create a virus. Or, a person could create a virus and send it to you through an e-mail, an ad on the internet, etc.
Malicious (evil) people create computer viruses.
