I will never understand why people makes viruses, im a bit of a hacker but i do it for my own self gain and dont do it to screw others over royally unless they really really are asking for it and then its not all that bad usually just make something irritating and bug them till they reboot lol.
That's illegal. Doing it just to have some fun and not get anything in return would get less severe repercussions. If I hack your com to get your credit card numbers and other personal info for my own personal gain while doing nothing to your computer, I go from being a hacker to a criminal. If I hack into someone's computer and install a virus/trojan to test its effectiveness, I'm more of a researcher/experimenter who is using someone else's computer as a guinea pig. It is still illegal as I hacked into the computer and altered data, but it is not as severe as identity theft and fraud. BTW FYI hacking isn't illegal if you don't change the data that you were able to access via hacking
