Money is the driving factor behind the rise of Computer Viruses, a security expert has calimed.

The increasing amount of computer viruses being created can be attributed to money, it has been suggested.

Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos, has claimed that organised criminals who normally would not go near a computer are realising that there is a lot of money to be made through computer crime. These crimes are done with the use of Malware, Keloggers and cookie-Trackers aswell as any other forms of molicious programs the criminals can get their hands on.
