Because they are losers living in their parent's basements who are afrain to talk to women. They think it is an accomplishment to destroy data and waste lots of time and money. I'd like to smash their monitors over their pointed little heads. Not that I am angry. :)

My suggestion is that a virus is made for destroy data or for transmit a message like "Free our men!!!" or both.

A virus also can be made to spy somebody. In this case this type of viruses are named spy-ware. Maybe a spy-ware read your mail. Think about this. This is possible.

A virus can be made to destroy data from a particular network or PC. This kind of virus check if infested PC is on target list, if it isn't the virus will auto destroy.
