The antivirus can't be written until there's a virus for it to cure, so of course the virus is faster than the antivirus.

Agree, in the sense that an antivirus maiin purpose is to delete or disinfect a virus, in other words, a virus has to be created first,before a cure can be made for it, sometimes however, antivirus developers are able to anticipate upcomming viruses so they are able to develop a cure for them beforehand.

yeah..i guess egg first before chicken thats why virus proliferate first before antivirus..antivirus developed to counter the antiirus.hence they need new virus to get new product.but i think this virus they creat it themselves and announce they get the 'med' for it.thats how they make money..

I think that the big programming companies design the viruses themselves and release their antivirus products to make profits.

This is a trick question... this must be. :P How can you develop a virus killer unless the virus first appear? So definitely, the development of virus will be faster than the anti virus to combat it.

We must ask to ourself "who create viruses?" if we discover this we can understand :-)
