Virus Attacks

Computer virus can cause problems to our computer.  But why would they exist?  Computer viruses are made for Fun, Pranks, Vandalism etc and for program improvements.  People have been made viruses for the past two decades.  The first PC virus ever was created by two Pakistani brothers.  There are many types of viruses such as Trojan,Worm,etc.  Other reasons for viruses is for profit.  Millions of dollars were gained while using a virus that users download and the virus collects the credit card information.

I think people already know about viruses but they don't know the details.  This info graphic can give people information they need to understand more about viruses.  I would have thought that the people who steal credit cards made more money but then i realized that if they take small amounts from your bank you won't notice so they can take more from it later.  But if the hackers take a big chunk then you will surely notice and then the money will be canceled.  From this I do not know whether or not a anti virus program can protect my computer anymore since some viruses were made to make programs better.
