Conspiracy Theory: Are antivirus companies the ones who actually write the viruses?

Cues theramin... < Oooh-wee-e-e-e-ooo-o-oh > (old sci-fi sound effect) Right! And men didn't walk on the moon, either.

Whacha been smokin', and why aren't you sharing with everyone else?

You never even considered this?? Creating an artificial demand for your product?

Considering that, yesterday, Isreal busted three teenagers for writing and distributing the Goner viruse, your so-called idea, is a waste of neuron power.

I often wonder about the same thing.
Now this: Are the companies who create anti-spam software the ones actually promote spams?

Anyone else running AVG free edition?

Given the number of people who use the internet and the general propensity for there to exist arrogant assholes who like to screw up our society in any medium that they can get their hands on, I would say that the AntiVirus companies need not waste time making their own viruses. And if they do, they're extra.

No. It's actually a plot developed by the Stonecutters, Major League Baseball, and the reverse vampires in conjunction with the Rand corporation.

Actually I think Antivirus companies making viruses to keep their business going is in the realm of possibility. Remember that guy arrested in Arizona for admitting to starting the wildfires in the Southwest a few weeks ago? He did it because he wanted more work (thus he increases his salary).

Absolutely, and I can prove it. First off, if you spell "Norton" backwards, you get "No Tron". As we all know, the movie "Tron" was about computers. If you get a virus it whacks your computer up, and if you get a really nasty virus, you might as well not even have a computer. So by writing their virii, the people at Norton work towards the goal of no Tron. But they don't stop at that. By writing anti-virus software, they get a chance at messing up your computer yet again. You see, it's a sick fetish of their's. It's true, you read it on the internet.

If only that were true. . . sigh, we would have much less spam.

I got spam from a company selling an anti-spam product. Jerks claimed that I opted to be on their spam list.

Very insightful! I never thought of that uncanny Tron connection.

Therefore, it is proved that Norton is responsible for all viruses.
