Where do malware come from ?

Last month I have been particularly bothered by pop ups and other viruses creation. It is so that people are to create these problems? To earn money? Or that they do not have more to do with your time?

Now for a few days ago I was bothered by a virus that opens various pop up advertisements.

Who pays them well, also for "creative" in some way?

Yes, people sit and create these problems. Partly because they think it's fun, to show that they are "important" and to earn money. To obtain the long lists of email addresses is very valuable for those who fully submit mails in the form of spam.

Do not those who run to create viruses have special contact with anyone.

Malware have become very prevalent in the internet these days. You do not know where they may come from, you don't know how, and to add to it you don't know how to prevent them from damaging your computer or deleting your important data. The only way to stay away from there is not to download anything (Fake) until you know that it is from the trusted owner.

The answer is to use one of the public malware scanning services. The first and most famous one is VirusTotal, but there are several others. You upload a file to these services, and they scan it with a collection of scanners.

Malware is a malicious form of software installed on your computer without the owners consent. Malware can come in many different forms such as viruses, worms, Trojan horses, adware, and most dangerously – spyware. I say spyware is the most dangerous form of malware because while the others can mess up your computer and slow it down, spyware does that AND steals private information such as credit card numbers and passwords.

Spyware/malware programs are authored by clever programmers, and then delivered to your computer through covert Internet installs. Usually, malware will piggyback on innocent-looking web page components and otherwise-begin software such as game demos, MP3 players, search toolbars, software, free subscriptions, and other things you download from the web. Subscribing to online services is especially bad for getting malware. In particular, whenever you sign up for a so-called "free" service or install new software, you must accept an "end user license agreement" (EULA). The fine print of the EULA will often include the phrase "the vendor is allowed to install third-party software on your computer". Since most users don't bother to read this EULA fine print, they naively click "accept", and install malware out of sheer ignorance.
