Would it be a safe bet that the people who create anti virus software, create viruses?

Question

if there were no viruses then there would be no need for antivirus software. If new viruses are created, there is a need for updated technology. People who are caught cheating in casinos are hired to spot cheaters because they no all the tricks.

Answer 1

It is a nice "conspiracy theory"

But taking 'Occam's Razor' into account, just look for the simplest explanation.

Either:

Antivirus companies create viruses in order to drum up business developing the software to catch them.

-or-

There are just bad people out there  who like to brak things.

Given human nature, I would bet on the latter

Answer 2

just so they can sell their product, sure its like advanced telemarketin or somethin lol

Answer 3

Not really, since the people that create viruses want their viruses to be as destructive as possible.
