This is something that I have
been thinking about for awhile and i think that its
worth thinking about...
Viruses
and Antivirus', welcome the the world of computing...
Because of these viri, we spend billions on antivirus
programs. Where do all these viri come from? It just
maybe that the Antivirus people are creating some of
these viri! Why, you ask would they do this? Well, think
about it... most viri these days have been there and
done that, so antiviri programs can catch them, but
how to you keep the public buying new versions of antivirus
programs? You join forces with the viri makers and/or
make them yourself, then tell the world about your new
virus that you "discovered" and don't forget to add
the fact that your software protects users from it!
Getting Interesting, huh? Well get this, I recently
read that this new virus out can update itself via the
internet... moving down the news document on ZDNet i
found that this new virus' updating ability strikingly
resembles the Norton Antivirus AutoUpdate Technology!
Hmmmm....
Sure makes you think... If there are no more viri then
the antiviri people are out of work, so what do you
do? why make a demand within the market. Now i'm not
saying that any of this is true, what i am saying is
that it is a big possibility. Heck! All those Antiviri
people were virus writers at one point or another....
Always
keep an open mind! On a lighter note, if you have any
comments, etc I encourage you to email me about any
rant I have posted...
