There are hundreds of thousands of viruses out there (if not

fall under the following categories:
- To take control of a computer and use it for specific tasks
- To generate money
- To steal sensitive information (credit card numbers, passwords,
personal details, data etc.) - To prove a point, to prove it can be done, to prove ones skill or
for revenge purposes - To cripple a computer or network
