Taking advantage..

Viruses for me are okay. I think that this is the fault of software makers. Viruses can be made by people who know a flaw/bug in a software. If this flaw/bug is not fixed, people can do something and take advantage of that flaw/bug.

It is like leaving a 500 peso bill on the ground, surely someone see it and someone would pick that up. Same with these softwares, if you leave a hole open, in time, people will discover these holes and someone would also create something that can take advantage of that hole... So.. if in time, it will be discovered, I believe that viruses are just one of the ways to speed up the discovery of the bug, and is a great reason why they should fix it right away, thanks to the people who make them.

I think that it is one of the responsibilities of computer users to protect themselves from these viruses.
