Suspected Virus Derived from Anti Virus Makers?

Suspected Virus Derived from Anti Virus Makers?
There is an assumption that computer viruses are made by anti-virus manufacturers themselves, is it? How do you respond?

This is one of the most frequently asked questions. When viewed from the side of the business where the antivirus manufacturers benefit financially from protecting computers from virus infections of course, many people will think that the antivirus manufacturer is concerned that the virus spread merchandise sold.

Something like that are often thought of by computer users who might be affected by the intrigues in the soap opera or telenovela. Fortunately the patients treated at the clinic 24 hours is not much that has this kind of thinking, because it might otherwise many doctors who were beaten because they spread the disease so that he gets the patient.

In answer to questions like these we actually have a dilemma, if you answered yes, we can immediately accosted by the authorities for spreading the virus is both illegal and should not be done by a good citizen.
So that objective, we can see the fact that the virus Top was captured by the authorities in the world (unfortunately in Indonesia that caught it is not the virus, but the actual breaker KPU server kindly want to show weakness in server systems KPU).
Top 5 world virus makers are caught by the authorities is not one who has a relationship with the maker of antivirus and antivirus manufacturers absolutely no reward or support to the makers of this virus.

3. Jan De Wit, virus makers Annakournikova in 2001 was 20-year-old young man who immediately surrender himself to the authorities after and was surprised to learn the extent of loss caused by virus product.
Funny thing is, respect for Jan De Wit is coming from the mayor "Sneek", the area where Jon De Wit live in the Netherlands and he got a job offer and awards. Instead, manufacturers Sophos antivirus as it opposes tribute to Jon De Wit.
4. Sven Jaschan, Sasser and Netsky virus makers that resulted in paralysis in many banking systems in the world (the virus is most likely inspired by Skynet from the Terminator movies).

A genius boy from German who turned out to be sorry to see the amount of damage caused by viruses buatannyadan identified precisely when the virus is spreading more of his parents that aims to reduce the damage caused by the virus creation.

Neil Armstrong, The Wonderfull Eagle Has Landed
Neil Armstrong, the first man to set foot on the Moon, was gone. Unlike his mission to the Moon in July 1969, this time he will not return. But for many people, he will always be remembered for his loyalty to duty.

Armstrong Reportedly Suffering winner! Complications after cardiovascular disease after undergoing surgery. Even so, the family was not told where and when winner! Armstrong.

Armstrong was born in Wapakoneta, Ohio, August 5, 1930. His interest in airplanes since he first appeared on a plane at the age of 6 years. When the Korean War broke out in 1950, Armstrong left the Purdue University and joined the 78 combat missions as a naval aviator.

When the war ended, he joined the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) in 1955 as a test pilot. Over 17 years later, he acted as a technician, pilot, astronaut and administrator at NACA were later changed to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

When a test pilot, Armstrong flew a variety of the most advanced aircraft at the time, including the sleek aircraft-shaped X-15 rocket-speed 6000 km / h. He flew the aircraft to an altitude of 58 kilometers, close to the edge of space. In addition, Armstrong also flew more than 200 different aircraft, including jets, rockets, helicopters and gliders.

Armstrong then filed to become an astronaut in 1962. He was assigned as commander of the pilot on the Gemini 8 mission. Gemini 8 was launched March 16, 1966, and Armstrong managed to close up (docking) two spacecraft in space.
 

Gemini mission was almost a disaster when a rocket booster vehicle stuck in the open condition that makes the plane circling in the sky. With a calm character, Armstrong using a backup system, stop the rotation of the plane, then made ​​an emergency landing in the Pacific Ocean.

In preparation for a mission to the Moon, Armstrong had to learn how to fly a module that will land vertically on the surface of the Moon. Back, Armstrong narrow escape when the vehicle rolled into the training side, and he had to jump to the ejection seat just a few hundred feet off the ground.

After several years of practice, when the anticipated had arrived. On July 16, 1969, the giant Saturn V rocket was launched from the Kennedy Space Center in the Apollo 11 mission, carrying Armstrong who was then aged 38 years, along with Buzz Aldrin and Mike Collins to the Moon.

Armstrong stated that the landing on the Moon was the highest point of the mission. He watched old craters and hills of silence on the Moon while Aldrin preach to mission control: "Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed."

Armstrong became the first man to set foot on the Moon. He is famous with the words "That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind," as he stepped on the Earth's satellite. "One small step one is, one giant leap for mankind."

Even so festive welcome to the mission, after the historic Apollo 11 flight that, Armstrong remains humble and unpretentious. He left NASA to teach engineering at the University of Cincinnati and a board member of several aerospace companies.

In one occasion commemorating 30 years of landing on the Moon with other Apollo astronauts, Armstrong said, "In my view, an important achievement of Apollo suggests that humanity is not forever bound to the planet, and our vision to fly much higher, and our opportunities do not limited. "

Now Armstrong has been "flying" higher. His life was celebrated by many as an example of courage as well as humility. For those who wish to honor Armstrong, his family asked that her memory every time they look at the Moon, remembering human landing on the Moon, as well as realizing Armstrong had "landed" somewhere else. The eagle has landed. Goodbye Neil Armstrong ...
