Conspiracy theory

It just crossed my mind that computer viruses (modern ones) are the creation of software companies that publish anti-virus software. Just think about it, it's like an endless goldmine - best anti-virus software is rather expensive ;)leeveeu

LOL you may be on to somthing there

It is all part of the plan. Also , dentists are behind the candy industry. Be afraid , be very very very very very very very afraid.

There are similar theories surrounding diseases like AIDS, Cancer and Malaria. There is far more money to be made treating the disease than there is curing it.

When you think about it it makes a lot of sense, although it doesn't present a very good image of humanity.

I heard before that software the blind use, it's like software so they can use the computer somehow, well someone hacked the software and it got disabled but only the illegal version of the software got disabled..Like the ones that were downloaded illegally..joshrocks2245

Oh No!! Another conspiracy theory thread. How wonder how many more threads like this will be made today?jfcundiff

Are you being sarcastic? I was only joking ;) just a crazy thought

You're probably right...:D,I have to say I have thought of this before but I didn't care so much,because there are more serious stuff like this which effect more people.But I think you're righttudyniuz

It's just business ;)

Even if the company did create viruses, they'd still be doing a favor. Without people buying advanced antivirus protection, pretty much every computer would easily be infected, and it would only take one good virus to DESTROY THE INTERNETS.metroidfood

The "INTERNET" theres only one, except for mine

It depends on whether you're talking about multiple internets or the Internet.

Lmao! Wow thats smart!

It makes alot of sence, and blew my mind a lil bit :P

Everthing is a conspiracy these days!

Makes sence

I believe in some Conspiracies like 9/11 but UFO's no, there also some more that were proven correct, like the GM Streecar

and it changed the world in a BIG way, just think about it cars may have not gotten as popular without it

I have no antivirus software. I use Linux. Your pathetic Windows and Mac viruses cannot harm me.famicommander

I like xkcd's view on conspiracy theories:

And no, companies aren't the ones who work to make viruses, hackers do that for free.

i heard that software is released with bugs on purpose, and that then they release new versions with improvements just to get more money. Gigagamer2

That my friend, is a scary perspective

Except it's not, because all well-known software have free patches. New versions only include new features. Plus there's software reviews, word of mouth, etc.
