"Viruses are illegal to make. So the anti-virus companies don't make them! There made by smart evil computer geeks." Point Of correction on the above answer, Depending on where a person is, viruses are NOT illegal to make, but its almost universally unacceptable to introduce them into the "wild".

For example you can legally make a virus for what ever reason your evil mind desires as long as it stays on your machine, nothing illegal about that. But it is illegal to the let that virus infect a third party's machine, no excuses. Another note, viruses aren't really that hard to make, anyone who paid attention in computer class can make them. Do anti-virus companies make viruses? Probably, after all, they have the most to gain.
