What do you think of people who say that Anti virus companies are the ones creating malware?
& putting it on peoples computers just to keep themselves in business ?
And no i am not talking about rogue anti virus software , i’m talking about the people who say big companies like norton and avg for example are doing this ?
Are these people completely paranoid ? and barking up the wrong tree ? or maybe onto something ?
By the way this is not my view i am just wondering what you people think of these beliefs .
Thank you

I think that it’s a possibility. More likely than not though people create malware and virus’ and then sell the antidote to the company to keep them in business. I don’t think that the anti-visus companies make the virus’ themselves.

I think this is stupid, If they did this then you wouldn’t get viruses without them. This is simply a myth, much like how mountain dew and laptops kill your sperm count. Don’t believe things unless someone has proof to back it up.

There the people working there behinds off JUST to keep our computer protected. The people creating viruses are the people who have too much time on their hands.

Maybe at the beginning but now there are so many malware creators it would be a waste of time and money.

Actually these companies are just taking advantage of the virus and spyware plagues that have expanded exponentially over the last few years. The funny thing is that if computer users would just follow a few standard rules of self defense the problem of viruses could probably be cut in half. Many viruses are spread by unknowing and inexperienced users who frequent insecure sites or open insecure email.
