    Actually, you are being unkind to virus writers here. Virus writers perform a valuable service to society: educating the masses that Windows is an unsecure operating system. By doing this, they are helping to hasten the downfall of Micro$oft, and this IMHO, can't be all bad.

    Spam, on the other hand, serves no useful purpose.
