A) Education: Some do it to simply gain knowledge or for a challenge, afterall making a virus is one of the most difficult programming skill. B) Revenge: Someone pissed them off and they decided they would get some revenge by letting a destructive virus run through their machine. C) Evil: Some people may just do it for havoc purposes, because they love it. These people probably suffer from some sort of attention problem. D) Attention: Finally, some may want to achieve media fame and glory, once again, only someone messed up mentally would want to get negative attention, seems these people have nothing better to do.
