Antivirus companies make their own Virus and release to gain more sales :facepalm: is it worth we pay for those shitheads? they try to fuck with us but warez fucks them=)

I got told this along time ago, I believe it not to be true, maybe small companies do.

Well this isnt a new info. as you can see most viruses spread from russia and giants like kaspersky are from russia too :D

It can be true. For example Mcafee can create a virus that only their own software will stop it until the others learn to stop it, so they can make more money by people trying to get rid of at the time they are the ones only stopping it.

old rumor and could be true

They probably do, do that, lol.
They win both ways, money towards anti-virus + personal information

I knew this since years ago. By doing this they get to sell more and hence more business.

 

[tut2tut]

actually they don't..

 

[jase07]

yup they do. it might not be the company itself but a third party paid by the AV company.

I do not think so, its a rumor but creating viruses helps increase antivirus companies profits.
