How many people have been hit with a computer virus? And why do people make them?
Some people make them for fun so they can obtain LULZ. Others, the more vicious malware and viruses, are made by companies to screw with your computer to the point where they try to sell you a product that will “remove” the problem. Usually they make them embed themselves in your registry and files. Notably, the one i got was called “storage protector” which forced me to reformat the compute entirely as it super embedded itself in the computer’s registry.
