Every kind of software has his backdoor.
It is develeopped that as such to make it possible for professionals to solv problems.

The moment that the first person is able to develop a virus that stays undetected is a matter of knowlegde and time. Than e matter if he will tell about it somewhere on the internet. This whole world will have to be able to live with a problem from that moment on.

Software "programs" are just another "hill" to climb. It's been that way since the first program was written.

I agree with Johathan. Like he said, it is a matter of time. The only determent is the promise of very heavy jail time or greater punishment.

All the money spent on development of antivirus is a waste of time and valuable resources of human man power. As one is actually in control of many.. History teaches us that this is a never ending "Escalating Situation". Much like the cold war, or even the pro and anti gun advocates. The Anti - gun advocate states to take all the gun. But in the out come of this, it leaves only criminals with guns. Worse case, England, they put their Police Officers at risk without means of protecting themselves. They have to pull out her Majesties SWAT team. After how many officers are killed? (Again not too efficient, at a cost of how many lives?) Pro - gun say their should not be laws governing gun ownership (these are but few), but here in promoting complete choas. I believe you can see where I'm going for here. Get the criminal, we have technology, the data bases, the ability to track them. The codes will be changing up new idea's will come along. But the criminals, must be stopped. The criminal is the problem, is the one arranging the code. This is where the point of concentration should be. Otherwise you are only producing escalation, which only gets worse.

I thought you would have more response? Of what each company had in use, mind or idea? As serious of a topic as it is, I really expected much more. Well for those that do stop in or back to check out this topic. Let me give you the one up on savingyou some time in searching for the who, where, and when, in my point of what to do. These are the people that do the tracking and verifying here in the US for our Government. And they are still availible to us in the private sector.
