What are some consequences for people caught intentionally setting viruses?

Answer 1

If you are talking about intentionally putting a virus in your computer then that would depend on what the virus was written to do. If it is supposed to erase your hard drive or erase an important file from your PC the the consequences could be really bad. The first thing you should do though is find out what kind of virus it is then find out what it will do.

If you are talking about intentionally spreading a virus to make others sick then that is a felony and you will be spending time in a prison.

Answer 2

Consequences would include (for someone getting the virus) a slow computer, progams shutting down while you are using them, and lagging internet.
