Why would anybody develop a virus and send it to people's computers?

Recently a virus attack brought to a stand still computer based activities in my place of work-I opened my computer, all I could see was a malfunctioning computer-my colleagues had the same problems, it later got to us that a virus was developed somewhere and posted to us! Why would anybody want to do such a thing?

Hello dear academic friend. I think that people of this kind are doing this for the purpose of showing their talent of creating viruses to get it spread on the one hand, but on the other hand, they are also trying to do business to get people to buy their anti-virus software they develop so that they would be able to make a great deal of fortune from it. I dislike virus-makers as they are trying to damage our computers,enabling us to be unable to enjoy a smooth net surfing.

I have no clue. I guess people just do not have anything better to do with their time. I think they just like to cause problems for others also. I think they are so miserable with themselves, that they like to make everyone else miserable with them. I have been sent a virus a few times and it really messed my computer up. I was so mad because I need my computer to earn from home.
